Bartec USA Moves to New Facility

Bartec USA, a provider of TPMS equipment, tools, solutions and service, has expanded into a new facility, the company announced.

“Bartec USA has experienced significant growth and as a result has outgrown their current facility located in Sterling Heights, Michigan,” the company said in a statement announcing the move. Bartec’s new facility is located at 6475 19 ½ Mile Road, Sterling Heights, Michigan, and is just a quarter-mile from their previous location.

Bartec USA has been located in Sterling Heights since its beginning in 2004. “It was important to remain in Sterling Heights and Macomb County, as both have been excellent partners for us during our business’ growth and development,” said Bartec CEO Scot Holloway. “This is an ideal area for us as many of our suppliers, as well as customers, are here. The area’s infrastructure suits us very well.”

The company cited recent and expected growth as reasoning for the expansion. “With this new growth comes the need for a lot more space and capacity,” said Steve Long, Bartec USA’s director of operations. “We have a lot more inventory now and a larger support team than we did a year ago. We simply needed additional space to house it all, and to allow for the expected continued growth.”

At more than 18,000 sq. ft., Bartec USA’s new facility is more than twice the size of its previous location, the company said. According to Bartec USA, the entire 18,000 square foot operation is dedicated to the sale and support of their various range of products  In addition to greater warehouse capacity, the new facility has increased room for testing and development, a vehicle testing area that includes a lift, tire service equipment and large on-site training space. Bartec USA will use this new space to host customer training events and to support industry efforts to improve TPMS knowledge and service, the company said. The new facility also features a dedicated space for the Technical Support Team.
