Grainger has opened a new 550,000-square-foot distribution center in Gresham, Ore., expanding its supply chain capacity in the Pacific Northwest.
The Northwest Distribution Center, located about 16 miles from Portland, is expected to create approximately 150 jobs and improve delivery of maintenance, repair and operating products to businesses, government agencies and institutions throughout the region.
“The Northwest Distribution Center is an important addition to Grainger’s supply chain network, enabling us to provide customers across the Pacific Northwest with faster, more efficient access to the products and services they need to keep operations running,” said Kristi Braverman, group vice president of distribution operations at Grainger.
