KeHE Distributors has opened a new distribution center in Elkton, Florida.
Although it is 3,850 steps from the previous location, the new building provides a 61 percent increase in space. It features 29,887 square feet of office space for employees and six temp zones, including 390,000 square feet of dry warehouse, 105,000 square feet of cooler/freezer space and dedicated ice cream and bulk rooms.
Elkton city officials joined KeHE executives and employees for a ribbon-cutting ceremony, where they heard from KeHE President and CEO Deb Conklin and KeHE COO Geoff Goetz. Attendees also toured the facility and had opportunities to network.
“This warehouse has been designed with flexibility and scale in mind,” said Chuck Graefen, VP of operations and supply chain management at KeHE.
“Whether it’s meeting seasonal surges, onboarding new products or adapting to shifting customer demands, infrastructure and processes were built to support success, all of which translates directly into better service levels and reliability for our retail and supplier partners.”
