American Locker Completes Relocation and Consolidation of New York Operations
DFW AIRPORT, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- American Locker Group Incorporated (OTCQB: ALGI), a recognized leader in secure storage solutions, today announced it has completed the previously announced relocation and consolidation of its Ellicottville, New York operations into its DFW Airport facility. The Ellicottville operations manufactured and serviced the iconic orange key and lock system.
The Company made the decision to consolidate its orange key and lock operation with its Texas metal fabrication facility as part of its ongoing strategy to streamline operations, improve customer service and reduce costs.
Previously, American Locker had to ship keys and locks from New York to be mated with lockers in Texas before delivery to customers. As a result, one of the immediate benefits of this consolidation will be to shorten lead times, thereby enabling ALG to fill customer orders more quickly.
American Locker estimates that this move will provide an additional benefit insofar as it will generate annual payroll, occupancy and transportation savings of $240,000. The full effect of these savings will start being recognized in the first quarter of 2013.
"American Locker is known not only for the highest quality products, but also for outstanding customer service. We relocated our key and lock operations, in part, so we could continue to provide the best customer service in the industry," said Paul M. Zaidins, American Locker's President and Chief Executive Officer. He added, "Our decision to relocate the lock operation is a rare opportunity to improve performance while lowering costs, a combination that provides value to customers and stockholders alike."
