Gordon
Food Service began looking into new business
models with opportunities in the Northeastern
United States, and as they began to move forward,
GFS once again called on Tippmann Group to
get a new distribution center up and running.
Tippmann
helped GFS with the site selection, finding
an ideal location on Interstate 81 in Eastern
Pennsylvania with an industrial park that
has been growing quickly. In fact, Tippmann
had recently completed a distribution center
for another customer in the same industrial
park.
As
always, flexibility is one of the keys to
a distribution facility for Gordon Food Service.
They needed a building that had multiple temperature
capabilities and convertible rooms, along
with the decreased labor costs associated
with a wide dock that is open to the cooler
warehouse space.
Tippmann
had already built facilities very similar
to this one for GFS in Brighton, MI, Ocala,
FL, and Greenville, SC, so the task was taken
care of quickly and efficiently.
The
150,000 square foot facility features separate
freezer, cooler, and grocery storage areas,
along with multi-temperature dock.
