Valley Grinding Expands Louisiana Operations with New Shreveport Facility
Valley Grinding & Manufacturing announced today that it has officially purchased a new facility located at 4203 Pro Street, Shreveport, LA 71109, marking a significant milestone in the company’s continued growth and commitment to serving customers across Louisiana and the Southeast region.
The newly acquired 10,000-square-foot building substantially increases Valley Grinding’s operational footprint in the region and will allow the company to expand service capacity, introduce additional capabilities, and deploy more service trucks to better support customers throughout the Southeastern U.S. The company is currently making modifications to the building to tailor the space to its operational needs and expects to fully transition out of its current facility by the end of this month.
The new facility is located near Valley Grinding’s existing Shreveport location, ensuring a smooth transition. There will be no interruption to customer service or employee operations during the move.
“This larger facility gives us the room we need to grow, both in the services we offer and in how we support our customers across the South,” said TJ Utschig, president of Valley Grinding. “It also allows us to create a better, more efficient working environment for our employees while continuing to deliver the same high level of service our customers expect.”
With expanded floor space, improved layout, and enhanced logistics capabilities, the new building positions Valley Grinding to meet increasing demand while maintaining fast turnaround times and responsive service throughout the region.
The Shreveport expansion reinforces Valley Grinding & Manufacturing’s long-term investment in growth across the United States, and its commitment to operational excellence, workforce stability, and customer reliability.
