Beacon opened a new OTC (On-Time and Complete) hub in Pico Rivera, Calif., and a greenfield branch in Little Chute, Wis. The branches expand service to customers in the high-volume Los Angeles market and the growing Green Bay-Appleton, Wis., corridor, according to the company.
Beacon’s OTC Network is a differentiated service model that solves customer needs by sharing market resources, inventory, and systems to deliver “an outstanding customer experience,” according to Beacon. The Pico Rivera OTC hub will house approximately 120,000 square feet of inventory as well as dedicated will-call locations for both residential and non-residential customers. The Little Chute greenfield locations will house approximately 10,000 square feet of inventory for residential customers. Both the Pico Rivera and Little Cute locations are stocked with leading brands of roofing and complementary products, including Beacon’s TRI-BUILT brand.
“These two openings prove our commitment to making Ambition 2025 investments to drive above-market growth and operational excellence,” Beacon president and CEO Julian Francis said in a news release. “They support organic growth as well as enhance margins, improve working capital, and develop talent. The Pico Rivera OTC hub will also contribute to our lower emissions target by optimizing delivery routes in the highly congested Los Angeles market.”
