Cardinal Health has announced a new Columbus, Ohio area distribution center as part of a multi-year warehouse modernization and growth initiative.
The new distribution center will support Cardinal Health’s at-home solutions business.
"We have been committed to helping patients take care of their health at home for decades," Rob Schlissberg, president of Cardinal Health at-Home Solutions told the press. "As a result of the pandemic, the health care industry is experiencing accelerated consumer demand for personalized experiences when it comes to health care at home. Expanding our warehouse footprint optimizes our distribution network and enhances our customer service levels, while positioning us for sustained growth in an area of patient care that continues to evolve."
The company’s tenth U.S. distribution center will be a 208,144 square-foot building with state-of-the-art logistics tech like robotic storage, conveyance, and the Kinaxis RapidResponse platform for digital supply chain planning.
The Grove City, Ohio center will create about 100 new jobs and is planned to be operational in November.
"On behalf of the city of Grove City, it is my pleasure to welcome Cardinal Health at-Home Solutions to our community," said Mayor Richard L. "Ike" Stage. "We look forward to fostering a strong partnership with Cardinal Health and supporting their critical work to help people take care of their health from the comfort of their homes. This latest investment further showcases their commitment to developing this region economically and bringing quality job opportunities to Central Ohio."
The new location joins another recently announced 574,670 square-foot distribution center, also expected to open later this year in Columbus.
