April 19, 2023 – Cardinal Health announced that it is celebrating the opening of two new distribution centers in Central Ohio this month. Both facilities will support the company’s Medical Segment, focusing on its U.S. Medical Products and Distribution (USMPD) and at-Home Solutions businesses. USMPD is core to the Medical Segment, while at-Home Solutions serves as a growth business for the company.
The openings are part of Cardinal Health’s multi-year warehousing and modernization plan for its Medical Segment, which focuses on investments in infrastructure and technology. The facilities will support business growth and expansion, help accelerate service for existing customers and bring more jobs to the region.
Located about 15 miles apart just south of Columbus, the new facilities offer more than 782,000 square feet of modern warehouse capabilities that strengthen the employee experience and remove complexities across the supply chain for Cardinal Health’s Medical segment customers. The USMPD facility, located in Groveport, will be equipped with Locus robotics and a spacious innovation lab, which is designed to test new technologies and streamline fulfillment processes. The at-Home Solutions distribution center in Grove City will act as a customer showcase location and it is the first Cardinal Health warehouse to feature AutoStore, an automated fulfillment technology from Swisslog optimized by Swisslog’s SynQ software.
Additionally, both facilities will be equipped with state-of-the-art warehousing management capabilities aimed at improving safety, service, quality and operational efficiencies. All technological advancements are designed to complement and enhance the work completed by Cardinal Health employees, and to attract prospective candidates.
Both businesses are hosting formal ribbon-cutting celebrations that will bring together valued warehouse employees, members of Cardinal Health’s executive committee and key stakeholders. USMPD will celebrate on April 18, and at-Home Solutions will host its event on April 25.
