FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

East Texas Carports Opens New Manufacturing Facility in Kilgore, Texas

Strategic I-20 Location Expands Production Capacity and Enhances Customer Service

KILGORE, TX - March 26, 2025 - East Texas Carports, a leading manufacturer of metal carports and galvanized steel buildings, announced today the relocation of its manufacturing operations to a newly constructed facility at 970 Post Oak Rd in Kilgore, Texas. The expansive new facility along Interstate 20 significantly increases production capacity while improving accessibility along the I-20 corridor between Longview and Tyler.

"Ultimately, this is good news for our customers," said Oscar Rubio, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at East Texas Carports. "The extra production space will allow us to construct more buildings at once, keep our delivery times down, and sell at a very competitive price point."

The new facility features expanded manufacturing space with two additional trim machines, bringing more production in-house. This allows the company to offer custom cuts of over 20 different types of trim in 20 different colors while reducing dependency on external suppliers. The strategic location off Interstate 20 provides enhanced visibility and will feature model buildings on display, a supply pickup center, and ordering facilities for custom specifications.

The company plans to complete office construction and fully consolidate all operations at the Kilgore location by Summer 2025, representing East Texas Carports' commitment to long-term growth in the region.
