Control Solutions Inc. (CSI), parent company of Quali-Pro, is expanding its formulating, warehousing and distributing capabilities at its 14-acre campus in Pasadena, Texas. The expansion involves a $5.5 million investment to construct and equip a 120,000-sq.-ft. facility earmarked primarily for finished-goods storage.

CSI broke ground on the facility in July, and expects to complete construction in February 2014. About 20,000 sq. ft. of the project is earmarked for distribution offices and a staging area for shipments. A new finished-goods storage center will enable CSI to centralize warehousing and distribution of most of the Quali-Pro turf care product line acquired in late 2011. CSI currently partners with 11 off-site contract warehouses, but will be able to shift two-thirds of this to Pasadena in spring 2014.

The company says the expansion will help CSI accommodate steady sales growth across all segments served, including among others: turf and ornamentals, lawn and garden and pest management.

“This expansion is designed to help us meet growing demand while better serving customers with enhanced warehousing and distribution control,” said CSI President Mark Boyd.
