Eddie Lund, vice-president of sales and branch operations, said, “We knew going in that we could both help our customers if we put together a warehouse solution in the valley. Once we met the Santos family, it became an easy decision for us to go forward with the program. We have a similar culture and values, and they provide us the expertise and local knowledge in McAllen that is essential. They are great people, and we are lucky to be associated with them, and we are already looking to expand our services.”
