Tesco: A Model of Warehousing Excellence

Tesco, a leader in lighting and electrical solutions, recently partnered with AK Material Handling Systems to add selective pallet racking and Tennsco Z-Line Rivet Shelving to their Auburn, Washington facility. We provided Steel King frames and Unarco beams and topped off the system with 102 Nashville Wire Products wire decks.

“Tesco was a great client to work with! They contacted us and already knew what they were looking for, so we were able to provide the materials they needed without issue. One full truckload of materials later, and Tesco had upgraded storage systems for their facility.”
