Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals expands distribution capacity with new West Coast DC

NORCROSS, Ga. — Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals on Tuesday announced the grand opening for a new distribution center located on the West Coast. Operations are slated to begin as early as May to support the ongoing expansion and growth of Hi-Tech.



"This new facility will enhance our logistic capabilities and better facilitate our customers evolving needs," stated Dave Nelson, VP West Coast operations, Hi-Tech. "With the West Coast operation Hi-Tech will have 1-2 day service whether shipping by UPS or common carrier to most of the country."



Hi-Tech has distribution and manufacturing sites in Georgia and Pennsylvania already, and this will be Hi-Tech's third national distribution center. The distribution center will significantly improve logistics as well as meet the demand of the company's growing customer base.



The new D.C. adds an additional 30,000 square feet of warehousing capacity and contains future plans that will allow for expansion to double that capacity. "We expect roughly 25%-30% of our shipments to be made from the West Coast location, while [the remainder] would continue coming from either our Pennsylvania or Georgia corporate headquarters in Norcross, Ga.," commented David Bromwich, VP project management for Hi-Tech. The company will also have space available in our West Coast facility dedicated for future sales staff expansion.
