GROWING IN THE BLUEGRASS STATE

New Distribution & Fulfillment Facility Opens In Louisville

The 324,000 square-foot, enclosed-space facility is strategically located near the Louisville International Airport and the local railyards, vastly expanding our ability to handle the flow of both domestic and international freight. “Louisville is one of the nation’s busiest distribution hubs, and its location is ideal for distribution and fulfillment services,” says ED SMITH of our Distribution & Fulfillment leadership. “With this new location, we can reach 95% of the U.S. population by air within four hours and 65% within a day’s drive.” The increase in freight traveling through our network will streamline customers’ supply chains throughout the Central and Southeast United States, putting The Power of One on full display. “Every service we offer will be utilized at this new location,” says We recently opened a new Distribution & Fulfillment warehouse in Louisville, and it is poised to become one of the busiest hubs in our network.

MIKE MONIN of our regional leadership. “From moving international freight to standard LTL, this facility will greatly increase speed to market and open up a ton of e-commerce solutions for our customers. The opportunities are endless.” A significant portion of the new center will be dedicated to the bourbon and spirits industries. Customers in these industries will be able to store and distribute both finished and unfinished goods at the location, allowing for accelerated production and convenient transportation solutions. Our Distribution & Fulfillment services feed our other service units and help us build deeper relationships with customers. Because when they see our commitment to excellence, they’re more likely to take advantage of more service offerings and create more bills throughout our network. Increased bill count translates to more chances for our associates to refer People Like You and generate more opportunities for Profit Sharing! T m In addition to handling freight like our other facilities (Nashville Distribution & Fulfillment pictured above), a significant portion of our new Louisville location will be dedicated to the bourbon and spirits industries.
