Allredi Opens New Warehouse in Sulphur, LA

New Location to Help Meet Local Demand for Blasting, Painting and Other Industrial Supplies

SULPHUR, La., Aug. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Allredi, a North American distributor of surface preparation, abrasives, and safety products to industrial contractors, announced today that it has opened a new location in Sulphur, Louisiana.

The new warehouse, located at 3701 Highway 1256, is led by Josh Roberts, a Sulphur-area native with more than 20 years of industrial experience. He will be working alongside Area Sales Manager Hunter Thornton, who has 12 years of industrial experience. Allredi primarily serves the industrial, infrastructure, and downstream energy sectors, and the Sulphur location is expected to benefit from having blasting and painting supplies in the under-represented Sulphur market.

“We believe no other Sulphur distributor has the breadth and depth of Allredi’s full line of blasting and paint coating equipment, which we anticipate will be a game changer for the local industrial community,” said Mr. Roberts. “Having worked and lived near Sulphur my entire life, I’m proud to join the Allredi team to support the continued growth of the city’s industrial sector.”

While it’s now open for business, the Sulphur warehouse will host an open house in mid to late September.

“Allredi is excited to have a local presence in Sulphur to better serve its vibrant industrial community,” said Allredi CEO Kevin Bourbonnais. “Local contractors and operators will now be able to get blasting, painting and other critical supplies and equipment all in one place, without leaving Sulphur. Allredi now has five locations across South Louisiana, and we will look to further expand our footprint nationwide to help our customers work more efficiently.”

Allredi is backed by Capstreet, a Houston-based lower middle market private equity firm, and Ridgemont Equity Partners, a middle market private equity firm based in Charlotte, NC.
