FleetPride announces plans for new distribution centers
The new Elgin facility will provide overnight replenishment to more than 45 branches, and is part of FleetPride’s broader network of regional distribution centers.
FleetPride, Irving, Texas, opened a new 150,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art distribution center in Elgin, Ill., replacing its existing facility in Bolingbrook, Ill. It will soon be followed by a 256,000-square-foot distribution center currently under construction in Lilburn, Ga., which is scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2020.
“These new distribution centers are safe, efficient and equipped with the latest technology, including a 3-tier automated mezzanine with sorting conveyors and a robust, effective warehouse management system from JDA,” says Juan Guerrero, senior vice president of supply chain.
