  • 2,000 sq. ft. Kenner facility leased at USD5,000 per month for one year
  • Landry Construction contracted for USD8,000/month to manage storage and mixing
  • Positioned near Port of New Orleans for optimized U.S. and Mexico distribution

Argo Graphene Solutions Corp. (CSE: ARGO) has opened a Gulf Coast Distribution and Mixing Center in Kenner, Louisiana, aiming to enhance its logistics and material delivery capabilities in North America. The facility marks a new operational footprint near the Port of New Orleans, a key transportation hub handling over 88 million tons of cargo annually.

The company entered into a lease for a 2,000 square foot storage and mixing site at a monthly cost of USD5,000. The agreement covers an initial one-year term. Additionally, Argo signed a services contract with Kenner-based Landry Construction Inc. for management, consulting, and technical oversight of the operations. The management contract is valued at USD8,000 per month, also for an initial one-year term.

Argo stated the Kenner facility would serve dual purposes: first, as a distribution hub for advanced materials across North America; second, as a mixing and integration center for proprietary graphene-infused formulations tailored to construction needs. These include concrete, cement, and asphalt blends designed for project-specific deployment.

“This agreement with Landry Construction and their facility in Kenner gives us the ideal location to launch, scale, and fulfill,” said Scott Smale, President and CEO of Argo. He cited proximity to the port, regional rail and highway access, and expanded coverage into the Southern U.S. and Mexico as operational benefits.

The arrangement leverages Landry Construction’s commercial infrastructure experience. Founded in 1991, Landry specializes in high-volume fuel infrastructure projects, including gas stations and convenience store construction throughout Louisiana.

Argo Graphene Solutions Corp. develops advanced, eco-oriented materials for use in construction and agriculture. Through subsidiaries like Argo Green Concrete Solutions Inc., the company is engaged in producing sustainable infrastructure products.

With this move, Argo intends to reduce delivery timeframes and improve access to its materials in high-demand regions. The company emphasized that the Kenner facility offers the logistical reach necessary for scaling its existing product lines across broader North American markets.
