In the heart of our organization lies a person whose attributes are nothing short of inspiring. Steven Boston, known for his compassion, patience, open-mindedness, and a positive attitude that is simply infectious, is the focus of this month’s employee spotlight. Steven is not just a leader; he is a companion in the journey of our corporate life, always ensuring that he walks alongside us, never ahead.

Over 1,000,000 Pounds with Tolling

Thanks to our fruitful partnership with Kraton Polymers, we have successfully exceeded the milestone of processing over one million pounds of material consistently each month this year in our relatively new operation. This achievement is not just a number; it’s a testament to our growing capabilities and the trust our partners place in us. We are thrilled to continue this journey, aiming to expand our services and competencies to meet and exceed our customers’ expectations.

Less than 30-Minute Load Times

Achieving an average load time of less than 30 minutes month after month is a feat that we owe to our stellar warehouse team, including Steven Boston, Roger Parker, and Scott Campbell. Their dedication has enabled us to prioritize our incoming trucks efficiently, surpassing the industry standards and setting new benchmarks for success.

Warehouse Space Expansion

We are excited to announce that we have expanded our warehouse capacity by an impressive 56,000 square feet. This expansion is a significant step towards accommodating our growing operations and welcoming new business ventures. We are eager to dedicate this additional space and continue our journey of growth and excellence.

A newly constructed processing plant in Davisville allows Curry to offer tolling and repackaging services!

Interior of new production facility in Davisville, WV

In 2021 we began a project to construct a 17,600 square foot facility to provide a space for tolling and repackaging operations. The project is now complete and already a valuable asset to our operation.

This facility has a great many exciting features that make it the perfect addition to our Davisville site. These features include: 1000 amps of 3-phase 480v power, 50 foot-candle lighting for fine manufacturing along with 4-foot-tall sun panels along the east and west eaves of the building, 25-foot-high low eaves, a full sprinkler system, a capable testing laboratory, and two 12-foot-wide passageways making movement of materials to and from the existing warehouse effortless.

Within the first quarter of 2023, equipment will be delivered, installed, and immediately put to work! Our custom-designed equipment line is perfectly suited for all types of dry products. Our line integrates repackaging, deblocking, screening, dusting, and metal detection/deflection into one high-output process, eliminating the need to move materials between modular pieces of equipment. Call us today to learn more about our new facility and services!

Wincore staying put at Staunton plant

/in , , /by

After a great deal of planning and research, Wincore has decided to stay put in our Route 47 facilities. That means that there will be no Wincore plant in Davisville for the foreseeable future. It’s not the greatest news, but the decision was made with a great deal of thought, and it was the right decision. It demonstrates why planning and research is so important. Moving would have been the wrong thing for them to do based on all the data and projections. Above all else, we want them to survive and thrive.

The (Davisville) facilities will continue to be used for 3PL activities. I am personally excited that we are planning to go green with them. Among the things we are investigating are electric forklifts and solar panels. I know “going green” is just a buzzphrase, but I love the idea and have a personal interest in technology. Perhaps the cost-benefit for solar isn’t quite there for our region, but we have a lot of roof space and I can tell you that there is a lot of energy up on that roof. Try walking on it in mid-day without a bottle of water. It seems to me like allowing that heat to dissipate away is just a waste. Like Elon Musk said: “I could either watch it happen or be a part of it”. I want to be part of it. So does Nick (my son and the company VP).
