CRL opens CRL-U.S. Aluminum Super Center in Atlanta

C.R. Laurence, the world leader and wholesale distributor to the Glazing, Industrial, Construction, Architectural industries, completed its new 105,000-square-foot CRL-U.S. Aluminum Super Center in Atlanta, Georgia. The Super Center combines a CRL Service Center and a U.S. Aluminum Service Center in the region. With the new Super Center, customers now have the convenience of having both brands under one roof, which will improve customer service and streamline operations, according to CRL officials.

The new Super Center will allow the company to enhance manufacturing processes, creating greater stock inventories, and delivering shorter lead times. It will serve as the principal distribution point for Georgia and surrounding areas, and bring local door and aluminium frame production to the region. The facility also houses a large showroom displaying full-size installations of popular aluminium structural systems for local customers.

“Merging our two facilities in Atlanta into one Super Center will have an immediate positive impact on customer service, stock inventories, and lead times,” said Lloyd Talbert, president of C.R. Laurence. “Strengthening distribution and enhancing the customer experience are integral components of our long-term growth strategy. Atlanta remains a key market, and by improving our ability to provide better service and shorter lead times, we differentiate ourselves in this competitive region.”
