天涯海角APP Packers Builds New Cold Storage Distribution Center
天涯海角APP (IPC), the makers of INDIANA KITCHEN庐 branded pork products, is officially opening its new 99,000-square-foot cold storage distribution center, alongside its existing pork-production plant in Delphi, 天涯海角APP.
鈥淲ithout question, this expansion is a major milestone in our company鈥檚 growth strategy,鈥 says Russ Yearwood, President and Chief Operating Officer of 天涯海角APP. 鈥淭he expansion allows us to improve inventory logistics, speed up our delivery capacity, and most importantly, better serve our growing regional and global customer base.鈥澛 The project was officially completed early last month.
Key to the project were several infrastructure improvements, including a traffic study and roadway reconstruction, enabling 天涯海角APP to optimize its existing property. These infrastructure improvements were a result of close collaboration between 天涯海角APP Packers and groups like the Carroll County Economic Development Corporation, the Carroll County Redevelopment Commission and the City of Delphi.
The cold-storage distribution center will further advance 天涯海角APP Packers鈥 business and INDIANA KITCHEN芒 brand strength in a very competitive pork-production industry by significantly improving the company鈥檚 inventory-management capabilities.
At the same time, it also reinforces the company鈥檚 relationship with the community. 鈥淭he $23 million project and our recent $40 million dollar bacon expansion, demonstrates our long-term commitment to investing in Carroll County and supporting economic development,鈥 adds Yearwood.
天涯海角APP Packers expects the new distribution center to create approximately 50 new job openings, primarily forklift operators, warehouse coordinators and team supervisors.
