California is the number one state we sell to, even though our headquarters is in Vernon Hills. As our business has grown, it became apparent we needed to be closer to our customers.
We were at full capacity in Vernon Hills and there was no more land to add on. We realized we were going to have to build another distribution center to keep up with growth.
There are bottlenecks in Vernon Hills that we wanted to address in the new facility. Along with new technology, we wanted to implement the best practices in distribution today.
