AXION LOGISTICS LLC.
AXion Logistics, headquartered in Pasadena, Texas, manages expendable and consumable materials needed throughout petrochemical and energy plants, providing its clients with inventory management, product ordering, pickup and delivery, and restocking of products .
“Our goal is to be the ‘best in class’ materials management company, providing value to the petrochemical industry,” said Steve Seymour, AXion’s president and COO. “We don’t provide the feedstock, the chemicals and the natural gas, but we manage the gaskets, the bolts, the belts, the materials that keep the equipment running in peak operating condition.” In short, AXion manages clients’ low-cost, high-usage materials, doing much more than a supplier or distributor. “We provide quality labor to operate warehouses, turnaround events, construction projects, but then we also provide transportation and consulting services, so we’re an amalgamation of professional business functions,” Seymour explained. Now celebrating its 15th anniversary, AXion has grown from “three men and a pickup truck” to over 400 employees in loca- tions across the Gulf Coast and in Michigan. AXion’s Louisiana operations office in Baton Rouge has called St. John Properties’ Barringer Foreman Technology Park its home for six years now. “It’s an industrial park with dock-height environment plus suitable offices,” Seymour noted. “It’s close to the interstate, to major thor- oughfares and Airline Highway. And it’s also close to our vendor community and our clients up and down the Mississippi River, so it’s location, location, location.”
But location isn’t the only reason AXion has stayed. Like its clients have come to rely on AXion, AXion has come to rely on St. John Properties, which has been very responsive to the compa- ny’s needs, according to Seymour. Recently, AXion signed an agreement to lease a larger space at the same location. “We were looking at the marketplace this year, looking for more space, different space, and St. John Properties came through,” Seymour said. “They found us the space that we needed and worked with us to develop the right warehouse and office config- uration. And we’re staying.”
