Larson Manufacturing, the largest manufacturer of storm doors and storm windows in the United States, has opened a new 130,000 SF distribution center adjacent to its Comfort Bilt Windows and Doors manufacturing facility in the SouthPoint Business Park in Mocksville.

Relocating the distribution center increases distribution space from 70,000 SF to 130,000 SF which will increase the […]
