A Spotlight on our Texas Warehouse

Hermann Warehouse Corporation has maintained a presence in Houston since 1988, and in addition to our current warehouse on Cavalcade Street, we’ve recently expanded our warehousing and distribution operations with a new, fully customizable facility to better serve the growing Houston market.

Our Cavalcade location opened in September 2022 and has become a vital part of our logistics network! This 70,000-square-foot warehouse is also a transportation hub for the region because it boasts a prime location near major highways, railways, and ports like:

  • I-10, I-610, I-45
  • Bayport Container Terminal
  • Barbour’s Cut
  • BNSF Railway
  • Reliance Rail International
  • Terminal Railroad Association
  • Union Pacific Railroad

 

“Since our Cavalcade location opened, the transformation has been tremendous. Growing our team members and improving processes to better serve our customers is the most rewarding part of the job,” said Karen Huffman, Director of Administration. Some of these upgrades have included installing dock locks, dock door bumpers, and dock plates. “All improvements to our warehouse ensure proper safety for our employees and customers,” said Angel Carrion, Warehouse Operations Manager.

 

Safety is always a top priority for the entire Hermann Services organization. With regular safety training meetings and frequent reviews for compliance and cleanliness, the dedicated staff at our warehouses have maintained customer-ready facilities that always delight visitors.

 

In March of this year, we celebrated the groundbreaking of our newest warehouse on the East Sam Houston Parkway. This warehouse adds 181,000 square feet of warehouse space to our network, will have 12 parking spots for electric trucks, and ample truck parking on the grounds. This fully customizable warehouse will have 20,000 rack positions for storage and a 36’ clearance height. The office space will have a modern design, open work and interaction areas to foster collaboration, and a large second-floor conference room that looks into the warehouse. As a wonderful nod to the company’s history, our lobby will also feature a fully renovated replica of the Old Timer truck that our founders, Fred and Myrtle Hermann, owned as one of the first company trucks! We look forward to sharing more updates as the grand opening of the building approaches!

Houston’s growing warehouse market makes it the perfect location to open our second warehouse to better serve the growing population which has increased 16 percent in the last 12 years. This strategic expansion allows us to serve our customers with enhanced logistics efficiency, particularly for their import and export needs. Our proximity to the bustling port ensures rapid and cost-effective container drayage with our modern fleet of lightweight chassis and tractors. The rise of nearshoring since the pandemic further strengthens Houston’s importance because both of our facilities are perfectly positioned to partner with international shippers, leveraging our longstanding relationships built on excellent customer service and reliability.

 

The Hermann Services’ Houston warehouse is about more than just shipping and receiving. We’re a team dedicated to giving back to the community. Within 2023, several of our Houston associates attended the Project Protect Our Children Spring Festival and brought one of our trailers wrapped with the organization’s information to display and help spread awareness about preventing human trafficking. This year, we went a step further, training all our staff across the organization to identify and combat trafficking.

 

Our commitment extends to the holidays too! Last December, we held our first Toys for Tots toy drive at the warehouse in Houston. Office Assistant Sylvia Rocha remembers it fondly: “One of my favorite events so far has been the Toys for Tots Toy Drive that Hermann held here in Houston, Texas back in December 2023. I am already looking forward to the 2024 Toys for Tot Toy Drive here at the Texas Warehouse!”

 

This warehouse is backed by our capable and tenured staff, who are constantly seeking ways to create custom solutions that meet the business needs our supply chain partners require. Thanks to them, we can guarantee safe and efficient operations, whether in warehousing or transportation. Hermann Warehouse Corporation is always prepared to help streamline storage and distribution operations, and we’re proud to have this warehouse in Houston as part of our network of storage and transportation solutions for the supply chain!
