SanMar, a leading supplier of wholesale apparel and accessories, is announcing plans to build a 580,000 square foot distribution center from the ground up in Irving, Texas.
The warehouse will support continual enhancements in their 1-day delivery service across eleven central states. Groundbreaking for the facility is scheduled for Fall 2007.
“SanMar promises the deepest on-hand inventory in the industry,” comments vice president Jordan Lott. “Our national distribution network and advanced delivery service are designed to earn our customers' confidence."
"This move into a larger, company-owned space is a recognition of our growth, but also our customers' needs for more product that is readily available.”
Construction plans for the new southwest distribution center were finalized on the heels of a major success at SanMar's current facility in Coppell, Texas.
For the entire week of April 16th to April 20th, 2007, the warehouse crew shipped all customer orders complete and shortage-free.
“A zero-shortage day alone is eight months in the making. We're incredibly proud to report five of them in a row,” Lott continues, “and excited to provide the team with a better location. After narrowing our search down to five separate parcels of land, we mapped out where our employees live and saw one of the 30-acre plots sitting right in the middle.” SanMar is an award-winning supplier of 14 brands of wholesale apparel and accessories.
