HESCO Relocates Ft. Pierce Warehouse to New Treasure Coast Facility

WAVERLY, Fla., May 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- HESCO, Florida's just-in-time operating supplies procurement and provisioning cooperative, announced today the opening of a new HESCO warehouse in Vero Beach, Florida, to more effectively service customers in the Treasure Coast area. The new warehouse will be located at 9055 17th Place in Vero Beach, just off of I-95 at Rt. 60.

"Since the acquisition of Packer's Supply Company in Fort Pierce this past February, we've confirmed how important a physical Treasure Coast location is to both our current customers and prospects," said CEO Gap Kovach. "Though we offer our full inventory for online purchase and delivery, a more strategically located warehouse in Vero Beach brings HESCO even closer to our target markets."

HESCO's primary warehouse and headquarters facility is centrally located in Waverly, Florida, situated to efficiently service clients throughout Florida and the Deep South.

The new Vero Beach warehouse is expected to be fully stocked and operational July 1, 2011.
