After the old warehouse with 1.000m² of floor space had been operated for more than 40 years, the company made the decision to scale up its presence in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The new 4.000m² facility in the world’s cruise capital is large enough to store over 13 kilometers of pipes, while 23 employees will focus on distribution and sales for customers across the cruise industry and beyond.
The goal of the new warehouse is to further increase customer proximity. On the one hand, the larger stock footprint on-site covers the the company’s entire marine portfolio, including Instaflex, ecoFIT, Sanipex MT, iFIT, COOL-FIT, SeaDrain White, Marine grade PVC-C and PVC-U piping systems, as well as a wide range of fittings and flanges. The warehouse also features a showroom and training center that introduces customers to GF Piping Systems’ products and services, and prefabrication capabilities for custom solutions. In addition to the cruise industry, the new location will contribute to the company’s growth in the merchant marine business as well as the thriving floating wind and offshore energy markets.
