The Texas warehouse will relieve the stress and provide increased capacity for continued growth. In addition, it gives WAC a more central location to service customers, especially Quick-Turn requirements for Same Day/Next Day shipping while servicing all brands, including WAC Lighting, Modern Forms Smart Fans, WAC-STRUT, and WAC Landscape Lighting.
“Cedar Hill is proud to welcome WAC Lighting to our family,” Florsheim said. “We’re excited that they chose to locate here, and we look forward to helping make sure this facility is successful for many years to come.”
