Expanding Horizons: How Rich Products’ Growth Aligns with FHI’s Managed Warehouse Labor Expertise

Rich Products Corporation is embarking on a significant expansion of its warehousing and distribution capabilities, particularly in Brownsville, Texas. This $117 million investment is a strategic move to increase capacity and meet growing demand for its SeaPak and Farm Rich brands. The expansion, which includes adding 150,000 square feet to the facility, will create over 130 new jobs by July 2025, primarily in warehousing and production. As Rich Products ramps up its operational capabilities, it presents a timely opportunity for FHI’s managed warehouse labor solutions to ensure smooth transitions and sustained productivity.

With decades of experience in warehouse labor management, FHI can make a significant impact, providing the necessary staffing flexibility that Rich Products will need as it scales up operations. One of the major advantages of working with FHI is the different solutions available, from short-term reinforcements to help during the expansion, to longer term outsourcing of different roles. This flexibility is ideal for an expanding facility like Rich Products’ Brownsville plant, where efficiency and performance are crucial to meeting customer demand.

FHI can also offer comprehensive warehouse labor solutions for the additional shifts that will likely be needed to support increased production. Managing second and third shifts, especially in high-demand periods, can be challenging for companies relying solely on in-house staff. FHI’s ability to scale warehouse labor resources up or down depending on operational needs can help Rich Products avoid the overhead costs and administrative complexities of full-time hiring while ensuring continuous operation.

Furthermore, our proprietary data and analytics platform, FHI INSITE, offers inbound operational transparency that can help Rich Products make informed decisions about labor allocation, productivity tracking, and workforce performance. With the ability to adapt to Lean Manufacturing processes, FHI can further enhance Rich Products’ focus on continuous improvement, waste reduction, and value-added production.

The expansion of Rich Products’ warehousing is not just about physical growth; it’s also about optimizing labor strategies to maintain high efficiency in a competitive market. FHI’s managed warehouse labor solutions align perfectly with Rich’s needs, offering flexible, scalable, and highly trained labor that can support the company’s evolving operational requirements. As Rich Products looks to solidify its position in the food manufacturing and distribution sector, a partnership with FHI can help ensure that the workforce remains agile, efficient, and equipped to handle increased demand without disruption.

The expansion of Rich Products’ Brownsville facility presents a valuable opportunity for collaboration with FHI. By leveraging FHI’s managed labor expertise, Rich Products can ensure that its warehousing and distribution operations remain agile and efficient, even as they scale. This partnership could prove to be instrumental in meeting the growing demands of the food manufacturing industry while maintaining operational excellence.
