Trex Company: Trex University

Trex® Company chose to partner with Shockey when expanding its manufacturing operations, relocating a distribution center for deck railing and leasing newly constructed warehouse space in Frederick County for a training facility and recycling center.

For Trex I, the project was site-planned, zoned, constructed, and open for business on an accelerated schedule. It features Trex University, a 10,000 SF education center where distributors and contractors can learn about Trex products, materials, and history. Trex Company leased an additional 230,000 square feet in the space for pre-packaged railing products that are ready to be sent across the country. With 70’ speed bays along the loading docks, the distribution center is designed for maximum efficiency.

Trex is the world’s largest manufacturer of high-performance wood-alternative decking and railing and is stocked in more than 6,700 retail locations.

In order to return shared savings to the owner on this project, a number of Shockey’s salaried employees performed the majority of overtime hours, including weekends and holidays.
