Mid South Extrusion
Mid South Extrusion, Inc. was founded in September of 1986 by the Anderson Family of Monroe, LA, as a small manufacturer of HDPE (high density polyethylene) barrier films. In the beginning, MSE started in a 17,000 square foot with four employees and only one film line. MSE is now a privately held S-corporation with about 120 team members working in a 200,000 square foot site that encompasses manufacturing, warehousing, and office areas. In addition to the HDPE films they have created since their start; MSE now offers LDPE and LLDPE films. These films are used in agriculture, polyurethane foam manufacturing and fabrication, and construction and pipe wrap applications. They also now produce products for packaging. In the category of packaging, films are used in furniture, bedding, carpet, beverage, canning, medical, textiles, and polyurethane foam compression applications.
MSE has a separate warehouse that was created large enough—60,000 square feet, to be exact— to house all of their floor stock programs. MSE is not the only one reaping the benefits of their large warehouse. With so much space available in warehousing, MSE can help customers manage inventory and also, help them keep up with delivery cycles. After doing some research, I found that film rolls at MSE average upwards of about 100 pounds but they can reach maximum weights of 500 pounds. With all of that processing, warehousing, and special preparation that goes into the film rolls, you would think that transportation might get a bit out of hand.
Once again, MSE accepted the challenge and organized the delivery process with the goal of making it as stress-free as possible for their buyers. MSE has a great record of on-time deliveries. This is in no small part due to their delivery team that includes eleven trucks and fifteen trailers. MSE’s delivery team provides delivery services to 80% of their buyers all over the continental US. When ordering with MSE, they have a lead time of 1-4

    The ordering process begins with the decision of the customer to submit their order simply by either calling, faxing or mailing their order information. When a customer calls in their order, the customer service representatives takes down pertinent customer information, which includes the customer's name, billing and shipping address, product number and description, quantity and shipping instructions. While taking down the order, the customer service representative access the company's order entry system where inventory checks are conducted as well as credit checks are processed. In addition, delivery options are advised to the customer. Here the customer decides if he/she would like a rush delivery, a 4-5 business day delivery, an 8-10 business days delivery, or a 10+ days delivery. If the customer decides on a rush delivery, the warehouse located closest to the shipping address is notified as to the availability of the product and the delivery instructions. If that particular warehouse does not have the product available, other warehouses are contacted. If the customer decides on 8-10 days in the future for delivery, the order is held for several days before being processed. If the customer decided on a 10+ days in the future for delivery, the order is held for processing and treated as a back order when it is input into the order entry system. The order entry system generates back order reports daily so customer service representatives are able to keep track of orders that are not necessarily rush orders. Based on this information, once the customer decides on a delivery time the order information is confirmed with the customer.…
