LOS ANGELES—Coquette, a leading lingerie company, announced they have moved their distribution warehouse from Buffalo, N.Y., to Los Angeles.
Coquette made the official decision to move the location to Los Angelesdue to increasing product demand on the West Coast. The brand new 25,000-suare-foot facility will be a temporary location with the hopes of expanding within the next few years.
“We always intended to go to L.A. it only makes sense for out business model,” said Peter Horea, president of Coquette. “This will allow us to better serve our customers and to grow our U.S. client base.”
The Los Angeles facility is only minutes from the port, allowing for more expedient delivery times. This change enables Coquette to more effectively distribute its product throughout North America, eliminating the previous shipping method of going through New York City and Buffalo.
“This move will open many doors for Coquette,” said Dave George, national sales manager. “I expect that potential customers will be attracted to our shipment expediency as well as our dedication to our business relations.”
Along with the facility change, Udo Scholze, German business manager, will be relocating from Germany to head the Los Angeles location as the warehouse manager. Scholze, who has worked with Coquette since 2004 as the head of the German location, brings with him extensive experience and an already established client base.
“I wanted someone that I could send toL.A.and have complete confidence and trust to take over that location,” Horea said. “Udo is dedicated, extremely organized and I trust him like a son.”
Scholze is looking forward to familiarizing himself with the North American clientele and the future opportunities that will present themselves in Los Angeles.
Coquette strives to ensure the highest quality in customer service and satisfaction and believes that the recent changes will meet these objectives.
With the move finalized and the facility fully functioning with its operations staff in place, the warehouse opened its doors for distribution at the beginning of July.
