Cardinal Health is celebrating the opening of two new distribution centers in central Ohio this month.

In an April 17 news announcement, Cardinal Health said both new facilities “will support the company’s medical segment, focusing on its U.S. Medical Products and Distribution (USMPD) and at-Home Solutions businesses.”

The press release added that USMPD “is core to the medical segment, while at-Home Solutions serves as a growth business for the company.”

The new distribution centers are just one part of Cardinal Health’s “multi-year warehousing and modernization plan for its medical segment, which focuses on investments in infrastructure and technology.” In addition to adding jobs to the area, the facilities will improve service timelines for existing customers while supporting “business growth and expansion.”

The distribution centers are approximately 15 miles south of Columbus and encompass more than 782,000 square feet of warehouse space. The USMPD facility in Groveport, Ohio, features Locus robotics and an innovation lab, while the at-Home Solutions facility in Grove City “will act as a customer showcase location,” Cardinal Health said, “It is the first Cardinal Health warehouse to feature AutoStore, an automated fulfillment technology from Swisslog optimized by Swisslog’s SynQ software.”

Both facilities boast state-of-the-art warehousing management systems to improve safety, service, quality, and operational efficiencies.

Steve Mason, CEO of Cardinal Health’s medical segment, said in the announcement, “Central Ohio remains imperative to our distribution and warehousing ecosystem due to its prominence as a transit hub. Our latest investment in two new distribution centers is not only a commitment to growing our distribution footprint, but also a commitment to investing back into our local economy.”

USMPD’s ribbon cutting was April 18, while the official celebration for at-Home Solutions is scheduled for April 25.
