Ranch Hand Expands Manufacturing Operations with 400,000-Square-Foot Facility at Seguin's TriPoint Logistics Center

Ranch Hand, a subsidiary of LCI Industries, has secured a 400,000-square-foot build-to-suit lease at TriPoint Logistics Center in Seguin, Texas, marking a significant expansion of the company's manufacturing and distribution operations. The move will consolidate operations from two existing plants into a single, modern facility that is expected to double Ranch Hand's manufacturing capacity when completed in late 2026. This consolidation represents a strategic optimization of resources that could enhance production efficiency and reduce operational costs for the truck accessories manufacturer.

The new facility, being developed by Ackerman & Co. and its investment partner Baltisse, will occupy approximately one-third of the 120-acre TriPoint Logistics Center industrial park. Jeff Bryant, Principal for Ackerman & Co. in Texas, stated that the City of Seguin provides an ideal location for manufacturing and distribution operations. The strategic location positions Ranch Hand in the heart of the Texas Triangle with direct access to Interstate 10 between Houston and San Antonio, providing critical transportation advantages for supply chain management and product distribution throughout the region.

The 36-foot clear height cross-dock facility will include dedicated space for production, staging, packaging, and warehousing operations, supporting the manufacturing of Ranch Hand's industry-leading truck accessories including grill guards, bumpers, and running boards. This expanded capacity could enable the company to meet growing market demand for aftermarket truck accessories while potentially creating new employment opportunities in the Seguin area. The transaction reflects Ackerman & Co.'s growing presence in Texas industrial markets, as detailed on their website at https://www.ackermanco.com.

Ackerman & Co. has previously completed significant developments in the San Antonio metropolitan statistical area, including the 300,000-square-foot Doerr Lane Logistics Center in Schertz and the 511,000-square-foot Corporate Drive Industrial Park in Selma. Phase two at TriPoint Logistics Center can accommodate up to 1 million square feet of additional industrial or manufacturing space, indicating potential for further economic development in the region. The company has expanded its Texas operations with a second office in Dallas and has invested in multiple industrial portfolio acquisitions across the state.

The lease transaction was facilitated by Tom Walrich of Lee & Associates representing Ranch Hand, while John Colglazier, Kyle Kennan, and Gray Gilbert of Partners represented Ackerman & Co. This consolidation and expansion project underscores the continued growth of manufacturing and logistics operations in Central Texas, leveraging the region's strategic transportation infrastructure and business-friendly environment. The expansion could strengthen Texas' position as a manufacturing hub while supporting the automotive aftermarket industry's supply chain capabilities throughout the southern United States.
