“We’ve partnered with Elite Storage Systems for a decade or so. Our expanded relationship allows our distribution center management team to create and design cutting-edge solutions for new customers in each of these growth industries,” explained Eastman. “Backed by Elite’s manufacturing expertise, particularly in applications in seismic areas—and every area is a seismic area these days—we collaborate to create the right integrated handling solution, including the racking, that meets each facility’s unique needs.”

“Our role is that of manufacturer,” added Nealey. “We manufacture the racking to Twinlode’s design specifications, and offer additional input and recommendations as needed to deliver the most cost effective solution to a customer’s specific needs.”
