Doleco's Charlotte location
will house manufacturing, product testing and warehousing, while
offering new custom production services for straps, slings,
tie-downs, decking beams and textile chains.
CHARLOTTE, N.C., April 24,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Doleco USA, the nation's fastest-growing manufacturer
of lifting sling and load-securing technologies, including the
DoNova PowerLash Textile Lashing Chain, PowerLift Textile Chain
Sling, LayerLok Double-Decking System, Level Deck Self-Leveling
Decking Beam and ConnectedDeck Double-Decking System with
Integrated Platform, announced the grand opening of its new
state-of-the-art manufacturing, warehouse and distribution facility
in Charlotte, North Carolina.
"This expansion signifies a strategic
enhancement of Doleco's onshore production capabilities and
customer service efficiency, putting us on more than equal footing
with other major U.S.-based cargo securement equipment
manufacturers." – Ralph Abato
"This expansion signifies a strategic enhancement of Doleco's
onshore production capabilities and customer service efficiency,
putting us on more than equal footing with other major U.S.-based
cargo securement equipment manufacturers," said Ralph Abato, president and managing director of
Doleco USA. "Our ability to
produce and test high-quality, custom-designed slings and load
securement equipment in-house will significantly enhance our
agility and responsiveness to customer needs."
Working with Vestian, a leading global advisory firm exclusively
dedicated to representing occupiers, Doleco acquired the new
33,000-square-foot facility, which is strategically positioned near
major transportation hubs, including seaports, airports and
interstate highways, providing optimal access to raw materials
while speeding shipment of finished goods to all U.S. markets.
Equipped with advanced manufacturing technologies, the plant will
focus on the custom production, fulfillment of traditional orders
and delivery of Doleco's renowned products, including straps,
slings, tie-downs and the innovative DoNova Textile Chains, Level
Deck and ConnectedDeck systems.
Custom Production and Technological Advancements
Highlighting Doleco's commitment to technological innovation and
its new focus on custom solutions, the Charlotte facility features an advanced sewing
operation capable of producing specialized textile cargo securement
products tailored to individual customer specifications. Unique
equipment will also allow Doleco to manufacture round slings,
continuous 30-foot loop slings with polyester jackets and fiber
cores. The company will also be able to customize its revolutionary
DoNova Textile Chains. Made of high-performance Dyneema fiber, the
ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) material that
when made into chain, is 15 times stronger than steel and up to 85
percent lighter.
Testing and WLL Certification
The facility's centerpiece is a massive 224,000-pound-capacity,
computer-controlled, electrohydraulic servo, horizontal tensile
testing machine. The device will allow Doleco to validate tensile
strength according to specific product requirements. The fully
automated computer-controlled system displays test force and
results, processing test data according to test method
requirements. The machine enables rigorous testing and
certification of products to ensure they meet required working load
limits (WLL) and the highest standards of safety and
durability.
Economic Impact and Job Creation
As part of its initial operations, Doleco has hired a team,
including sewers and warehouse workers, under the leadership of a
seasoned industry veteran, Rob
Snyder, operations manager for the Charlotte location. With plans for significant
future expansion, the facility is expected to employ up to 30
skilled workers within the next five years, contributing positively
to the local economy. The building offers the potential for
Doleco's expansion to 100,000 square feet.
Community and Economic Engagement
Doleco leveraged the company's international origins by
collaborating with the German American Chamber of Commerce
throughout the process. As it establishes itself as one of
Charlotte's newest corporate
citizens, Doleco plans to weave itself into the fabric of the
Charlotte community, promising not
just economic contributions but also a commitment to local
engagement, corporate responsibility and growth.
"We're looking forward to inviting key customers to Charlotte to tour the new facility, to show
off our new technology and capabilities — and to enjoy the city,"
said Abato. "We think they'll like the city of Charlotte, but we know they'll love what they
see at our new location and the depth of what we now have to offer
them."
