New warehouse opens

FRESNO, CA -- Braxton-Bragg Corp. has recently opened a 25,000-square-foot warehouse in Fresno, CA. The new warehouse is in addition to the 34,000-square-foot warehouse located in Knoxville, TN, which is also the corporate headquarters for the company.

The new warehouse is intended to better serve West Coast customers by offering quicker delivery times of 1 to 2 days depending on location, reports Braxton-Bragg. West Coast customers will benefit by lower shipping costs associated with a more convenient shipping location. Hazmat shipping costs will also be drastically reduced since those products will be shipped as ground packages instead of airfreight. The Braxton-Bragg full line of products will be available from the warehouse. Sales operations will be maintained out of the headquarters in Knoxville.

In its 10th year, Braxton-Bragg has grown to be an industry leader in the distribution of consumable items for the stone industry, according to the company. It offers more than 5,000 products and industry leading brand names of Alpha, Achilli, Ghines and Akemi as well as their trusted in-house brands of Viper, Hercules, Talon and Scorpion.
