Husqvarna Expands In Arkansas
Husqvarna Group held a groundbreaking ceremony for a new 350,300 sq. ft. distribution center and materials warehouse facility. The new facility is projected to be fully operational by the end of 2018.
The new facility will serve primarily as warehouse, staging and storage. It is located adjacent the current manufacturing facilities in Nashville where chain saws; trimmers; blowers; pole saws; and hedge trimmers are made for the Husqvarna, Poulan Pro, Jonsered, McCulloch and Weed Eater brands.
The new distribution center will localize distribution operations and automate the transfer of finished product from the assembly line to the warehouse. The investment includes an adjacent four-acre site for use as a trailer court. Once the new facility is operational, the company’s manufacturing, warehousing and distribution footprint in Nashville will exceed 874,000 sq. ft.
“We’re always looking for ways to better serve our customers in an increasingly competitive market. This new state-of-the-art facility will help us improve our product/cost value position by optimizing warehousing and distribution,” says Jim Moore, VP and General Manager of Sourcing, Operations, and Supply Chain for the Husqvarna Group Consumer Brands Division.
