Conesco Storage Systems

What Conesco Storage Systems does

Conesco Storage Systems, Inc. is a family-owned material handling equipment distributor and services provider founded in 1986 by Ted Hodges and headquartered in Centennial, Colorado. The company sells both new and used industrial storage and material handling equipment — including pallet racking, conveyor systems, mezzanines, cantilever rack, pick modules, shelving, wire decking, and lift equipment such as forklifts, reach trucks, and AS/RS systems — alongside a broad service portfolio spanning material procurement, rack buyback, warehouse permitting, engineer-stamped drawings, installation and teardown labor, warehouse inspection and safety audits, facility reconfigurations, freight management, warehouse relocation, project management, and facility decommissioning and liquidation. Used equipment is positioned at 40-60% cost savings versus new, with an inspection-and-certification process that constitutes a key part of the value proposition.

The firm operates a hybrid go-to-market combining a nationwide field sales team of 17 representatives with inside sales, five regional offices (Centennial CO, Portland OR, Flemington NJ, Phoenix AZ, St. Paul MN), and direct walk-in locations supporting on-site equipment inspection. It serves customers across all 50 states across a horizontal mix of end markets including third-party logistics, e-commerce fulfillment, general warehousing, food and beverage, cold storage, and industrial manufacturing. Revenue is generated through unit-priced hardware sales (both new and pre-owned) plus project-based professional services on multi-year or pay-as-you-go engagements, with pricing consistently quote-driven and project-specific. The leadership team comprises founder/CEO Ted Hodges and his son, Chief Information Officer Teddy Hodges, reflecting second-generation continuity; the company employs over 40 people with more than 400 years of cumulative industry experience across the staff. No external institutional ownership, funding rounds, M&A activity, or technology platform beyond the company website and social channels are disclosed.
