Redlands, California , 07.27.10 – Aspen Logistics, Inc.’s newest facility in Redlands , CA is receiving its first shipments this week. Aspen , a leader in providing logistics solutions to the retail supply chain, will manage this operation for one of its major customers in California ’s Inland Empire (I.E.). An extensive analysis on the location was conducted by Aspen and their partners. It was concluded that an operation outside of Los Angeles and Orange Counties would be more cost effective. The new location is a sustainable expansion of their California operation’s value. The new building will allow a large pool of customers who currently operate distribution centers in the area, the additional access to Aspen ’s services. The warehouse will service a dedicated contract customer and support Aspen 's three other California locations.
The move to expand Aspen ’s footprint in the I.E. was finalized after some consideration. With the economy still in a fragile state many customers are looking for cost cutting measures in their supply chains. Aspen and their partners found that operating a facility in Redlands would reduce unnecessary variables that are driving customer costs. The facility’s proximity to Los Angeles , Orange , and San Diego Counties make it a perfect access point. High real estate costs and traffic congestion were contributors to the analysis. The study painted a picture of the continuing trend in Southern California logistics to move DC’s and warehousing facilities to outlying areas.
The new warehouse is approximately 468,000 sq. ft. of ambient temperature space adding to Aspen ’s current operational warehousing space of 3 million sq. ft. The building was built in 2005. Operations are planned to run 24 hrs a day Monday thru Friday, which is subject to change. The facility is located at 1901 California Street in Redlands , CA . Aspen’s Montebello facility is currently fielding calls regarding the facility and can be contacted at (323) 727-8000.
