Cardinal Health intends to build a 574,670 square foot medical distribution center in the Columbus, Ohio area to replace its current 235,000 square foot facility in Obetz, Ohio.
The new facility will integrate automation and technology to improve safety, service, and quality as well as better support volume/labor fluctuations. The larger footprint and operations will create new opportunities in the Ohio Valley job market.
Cardinal Health expects the new facility to be operational by late 2022 or early 2023.
"We're building a new warehouse to meet both our customers' current and future needs," James Sembrot, SVP U.S. supply chain at Cardinal Health told the press. "The new facility is part of a multi-year strategy to increase U.S. warehouse capacity with expanded inventory space. By increasing our medical distribution footprint, we will provide customers another location in our network for Strategic Stock Solutions and 3PL services."
"Our public-private partnership between the Columbus Regional Airport Authority and Capitol Square continues to drive our developments in Rickenbacker Global Logistics Park with direct access to highways, the largest dedicated cargo airport in the world and the rail intermodal terminal for Norfolk Southern," said Ben Struewing, Duke Realty (partner to Cardinal Health for this facility) VP of leasing and development for Ohio. "Columbus' robust talent pool and centralized location make it ideal for Cardinal Health to meet its supply chain and logistics needs to further fuel their growth and success."
