Shur-Co®, LLC, an industry-leading supplier of tarp systems and accessories to the transportation industry, today announced plans to expand its service, sales, distribution and manufacturing capabilities to a location in Vermillion, SD in November. The new location, at 1212 N. Norbeck St, will become a full-service branch that will support Shur-Co’s customers in the Agriculture, Construction, Waste, and Flatbed markets.
“This continues to be a time of great transformation and growth for Shur-Co® and this new facility is necessary to support the sales, service and distribution of our growing product line and volumes,” said Terry Tennant, CEO of Shur-Co, LLC. “We are constantly evaluating our network of locations company-wide and the Vermillion location provides us an opportunity to not only add another service location, but to also increase manufacturing flexibility and distribution capacity to serve our diverse customer base.”
The new location will initially include two bays to support service and installation of tarp systems and accessories such as the company’s Shur-Lok® and Cable-LokTM roll tarps for Agriculture and Construction applications, 4500 Series Electric Tarp systems, and ShurTiteTM retractable tarps for flatbed trailers. Light manufacturing and warehouse space to support the distribution of the company’s Shur-Co®, Donovan andShurTiteTM product lines will also be included.
“It is our intention to be fully operational by year-end 2020. We have a number of open positions available and will initially be training newly hired team members in Yankton, SD until the time we become fully operational,” said Tennant. “We anticipate 8-10 employees initially and will continue to add to that team as our business expands.”
