BIC attends the Pepperl+Fuchs Grand Opening on Tuesday of their new facility in Katy, TX.
Pepperl+Fuchs, a pioneer and innovator in industrial sensor and explosion protection technologies, recently celebrated the grand opening of its new United States Distribution Center (UDC) located in Katy, Texas. An over $25 million investment that spans an area of 110,000 square feet, the state-of-the-art distribution center serves as the central warehouse from which Pepperl+Fuchs distributes more than 10,000 products worldwide. Katy, TX was chosen as the location for the new facility due to its proximity to the oil and gas industry. The Galveston Bay makes it easy to receive product from Europe and Asia, while Houston offers airfreight capabilities.
