Harsco opens new super centre

Harsco Infrastructure, the business that combines SGB, Hünnebeck and Patent scaffold has opened a prototype ‘super centre’ location in Las Vegas.

The new locations will combine all of the company’s operations and resources for scaffolding, shoring and formwork in a large single location that will serve as a regional hub for the south-western United States.

The new Harsco Super Centre in Las Vegas

The new location has been specifically designed by a team of outside industrial supply chain experts to serve a larger geographic area as efficiently as possible.

The Las Vegas centre for example, will replace various non-customer-facing functions previously done in Los Angeles, Denver, Salt Lake City, and Phoenix using state of the art technologies such as a world-class warehouse management system expressly designed to service customers faster, better, and more efficiently.

Customers will continue to be served locally by sales, engineering, customer service staff and other necessary resources including the availability of equipment for urgent delivery.

Harsco Infrastructure’s new chief executive Ivor Harrington said: “This is a new way of doing business for us that will deliver more integrated solutions and greater value to our customers. Our next phase of implementation will replicate this model across North America.”

“Our broadly-based, multi-branch model of the past was right for its time, but today’s climate requires a different solution. Our intent is not only to change with the times, but to lead that change.”
