American Warehouse Systems On The Front Lines
“We do quite a bit of work overseas for the Department of
Defense,” says Mark Juelich, director of American Warehouse
Systems (Minneapolis, MN). The company manufactures its own pallet
rack, which the military uses at permanent and temporary military
bases all over the world, including in Afghanistan and Iraq.
“There’s really not that many contractors willing to do work over
there,” Juelich says. “But we have several long-term contracts with
the Department of Defense, and we don’t mind doing that work. It’s
good for us.”
Juelich says most of the company’s military projects are sold by
company salesperson Harlan Gillette or comes via the
Internet. Either way, it’s proven to be a boon to American Warehouse
Systems.
The photos below illustrate one of the company’s recent
deliveries of pallet rack to Afghanistan. This particular order was
for mobility storage. “Soldiers store their gear on it, but when
they need to move quickly, it’s available right there next to their
vehicles. They grab it, load it and leave,” Juelich says.
