Compco Industries has recently
employed a stocking program for volume customers to help facilitate
JIT(Just In Time) inventory programs. Tank Heads and other stampings
are pre-built on a weekly or longer basis as derived from customer
specified demand-forecasts. Tank Heads and stampings are manufactured
and stored at both our Youngstown and East Palestine plants. A shell-sheet/cut-to-length
program is run out of our Columbiana facility. Tank Heads are stored
and shipped in our returnable wire baskets, while shell-sheet/cut-to-length
material is palleted/wrapped per customer packaging needs. Customers
return empty wire baskets by the truckload or on an as needed basis.
