BlackHawk Industrial announced the opening of a new branch location in Portland, Oregon.
With the opening of a greenfield location in Portland, BlackHawk deepens its ability to service local customers in the Oregon marketplace, according to a company press release. The additional inventory stocking location, along with added field sales and CSR staff at this location further strengthens the company's presence in Oregon and Northern California.
“We are excited to plant the BlackHawk flag in Portland," said Bill Scheller, CEO of BlackHawk Industrial. "We are being true to our tagline as we continue to focus on being “small enough to care” – with a new location, with local talent, and local inventory serving local customers. Our Pacific Northwest Team will be led by Rod Burge and is comprised of our branches in Portland, Seattle, and Salt Lake City.”
Scheller added: “BlackHawk Industrial has been very successful in our selective recruitment of strong technical sales and customer service talent in the Pacific Northwest. Over the past few months, we have added four additional sales account managers to the BlackHawk family from other distributors in the Pacific Northwest marketplace. We truly value finding individuals who want to align with a strong distributor whose culture sincerely values their contribution to the business.”
