Case Studies

Leading manufacturer of pill caplets, hand sanitizers, sunscreens and other creams and ointments needed more facility space. Instead of taking on the exorbitant and expensive process of hiring a general contractor and building an addition, they instead turned to one of CIP’s distributors, Southern States Storage & Handling.

Delray came to CIP to present their problem and find a solution that was both ideal and economical. Their service center has 14 bays to help their customers receive quality service work quickly, and these bays take up an enormous amount of space. As such, there was not much room left to stock necessary inventory of auto parts.

When you build inboard motors that range from 4-cylinder 145 horsepower to a massive 850 hp V8, you’re bound to need lots of inventory on hand. Their heavy inventory and stock needed to be well-organized and properly-maintained, so this is where CIP’s economical lifting solution became vital to this small business.

Since an overwhelming majority of their beers, wines, and spirits are packaged in glass bottles, any potential solution for Star Liquors had to account for smooth and safe transitions of their inventory to minimize any chance for damage. Additionally, a retrofitted solution into a space that wasn’t originally designed for a freight elevator presented spatial challenges. That’s when they reached out to the experts at Custom Industrial Products to help solve their problem.
