With close proximity to its Global Headquarters and Height Safety Center in Houston, the new facility demonstrates Guardian’s continued dedication to its 360-height safety ecosystem that includes fall protection, dropped object prevention, foreign material exclusion, engineered systems, expert training, and end-to-end customer service.
“Our customers and their workers’ safety have always been the top priority for Guardian. This operational expansion is a testament to our dedication to meeting their needs with utmost efficiency and speed,” said Derek Grant, SVP of Operations at Guardian. “With this new distribution center, we are equipped to serve our customers better than ever before.
