Randy Cates, Kingman Plant Manager Inside the plant, this bell machine fastens bells on the ends of pipes. The Kingman plant measures nearly 11,000 square feet, and sits on 30 acres, housing nearly 110 workers. chain, starting with a shipping model whose unlimited potential begins with limiting the transportation of goods to a 500 mile radius. Shipping conduit within the 500 mile radius controls freight costs and shortens delivery time to the customer. CANTEX’s current product offering of 3000 plus items lends itself well to the establishment of the regional distribution concept.With the addition of the Kingman 79,040 square foot distribution center, CANTEX will have factory distribution points in the eastern, central and now, the western marketplaces. The Kingman facility allows CANTEX to have substantially improved turn-around time on all product deliveries and to plant a firm foothold in the Southwestern marketplace. CANTEX has re-organized the sales department to have sales and sales service representatives operating out of the Kingman facility to increase the level of service offered to the customers in the Western states. “CANTEX serves approximately 32 percent of the total US conduit market, and is the largest manufacturer of PVC conduit in the US,” explained Lack. Approximately 35 percent of the company’s sales are in the residential construction industries, and 40 percent are commercial and industrial building construction as well as schools or public buildings — and 5 percent are sales to retail establishments (Lowe’s,Ace Hardware, etc.) The balance is focused on power utility and telephone companies.” “Times are changing,” Lack reiterated.“CANTEX is growing.” The industry continues to change with numerous acquisitions and mergers. CANTEX is positioning itself to take full advantage of the opportunities being presented. For more information on CANTEX, view their website at www.cantexinc.com.
