Today, Lampton is excited to announce the opening of two new locations. First is the relocation, expansion, and renovations for our northernmost store in Beatrice, Nebraska. Additionally, we have added our 17th location to the business, with our opening in Joplin, Missouri, which provides us with multidirectional growth penetration points eastward. This location is designed as a "Supply depot" and not the typical retail location. Its core mission is to provide our customers a 100% item fulfilment rate, as we have proven in other markets.
"These expansions are important elements of our growth trajectory. Customers are hungry for independent, loyal, capable, logical and non-corporation style engagements and support. Lampton does an excellent job of acting small while providing the leverage and capabilities of being sizeable. We treat customers with the respect they deserve. With them at the center of our intentions, we grow rapidly, along with our reputation for Excellence," expressed Robert Mohr Gerry, Executive VP for Lampton.
"Positioning ourselves as the most reliable, responsive and inventive supplier in the region fuels our expansion and feeds into the narrative and of the Lampton 2.0 Business Evolution," Doug Lampton added.
Lampton Welding Supply is the largest independent industrial gas and welding supply distributor in the mid-central U.S.A. Cresting into their 80th year of operations, this third-generation family enterprise, with 17 locations and distribution into seven central states, provides high-quality sales support and service to various customers throughout the region.
