New Legend Valve Fitting Distribution Center

Legend Valve opened its new distribution center in Stafford, Texas, a suburb of Houston, in April.

The warehouse increases the company’s distribution footprint in the growing Southern U.S.

The facility allows Legend to deliver to 96 percent of customers within the continental United States within two days or less. The facility also gives wholesalers easy access to a will-call service desk, further allowing customers to reduce their inventory-carrying costs.

“This facility represents a major milestone for Legend and reinforces our commitment to be the preferred supplier to plumbing wholesalers,” said Larry Emmert, vice-president of operations at Legend Valve.

Adding Stafford expands Legend’s distribution footprint, which already includes Reno, Nevada, and Detroit.

Legend’s new distribution center also created significant job opportunities, further contributing to Stafford’s local economy.
