Weir Minerals says it has opened a new distribution centre in Salt Lake City, Utah, providing proximity to customers in the heart of US mining country.

The new facility boasts over 10,000 high-density pallet storage locations, 16 active docks with full safety features and four assembly bays. It will allow the company to expedite deliveries and significantly reduce lead times for customer deliveries, Weir Minerals says.

At the ribbon cutting ceremony, Jon Stanton, Weir CEO (pictured in the centre), said: “We’re confident that this centre will serve as a hub of productivity and enable us to reach new heights in terms of speed, accuracy, and customer satisfaction.”

Weir Minerals already has a Linatex facility in Salt Lake City, while its ESCO division also has a branch there.
