Innovative Space Expands Complete Material Handling Solutions to West Texas Region
Shoppa’s Material Handling, the Texas-based company known for providing complete material handling solutions, announced the opening of its new Amarillo, Texas, location.
Shoppa’s, which has been serving Amarillo and the surrounding area since 2006, built the nearly 30,000-square-foot state-of-the-art facility to support the growing needs of the West Texas region, delivering advanced solutions to its customers, including the market’s first advanced battery facility with partner Viking Power.
“The people of our company, which was built from the ground up, understand the hard work and innovative solutions it takes to grow and maintain a business,” said Jimmy Shoppa, president of Shoppa’s Material Handling. “In today’s environment, where businesses are continually adjusting to meet the realities and implications of a global pandemic, we are especially honored to be investing in a new facility dedicated to serving our customers in this community.”
Shoppa’s Amarillo facility supports key industries including agriculture and cotton, beef production, food distribution, pet food manufacturing, general warehouse and manufacturing, and more.
“We want to deliver an exceptional experience with solutions that ensure our customers around the region move their goods in the safest, most effective manner. Shoppa’s Amarillo will continue to serve the West Texas industries working to navigate a rapidly changing landscape,” Shoppa added.
Known as a premier Toyota lift truck dealer, Shoppa’s offers a wide range of equipment options from world-class brands and is a leading provider in systems design, automation, product and equipment integration, installation, and service.
The new facility is leading the way for material handling offerings in West Texas, including:
