Pleasant Prairie-based
Uline, a distributor of shipping, industrial and packaging products that has built several huge distribution centers in Kenosha County, has opened another facility, the largest it has built there to date.
The new 1.44 million-square-foot facility is located at 3002 128
th Ave. in Kenosha. The addition of the facility increases Uline's Kenosha County building footprint to well over 10 million square feet, according to a Monday press release from the company.
The new facility, located northwest of 128
th Avenue and 38
th Street on Uline’s warehouse campus west of I-94 in Kenosha, will employ roughly 200 people ranging from warehouse associates to management and facilities services personnel.
The new warehouse, built on a 179-acre site, has an on-site fitness center, a café and will stock many of the more than 40,000 products from Uline’s 840-plus page catalog.
“This expansion represents a significant milestone for Uline, and for Wisconsin,” said
Wade Goff, senior director of redistribution. “This huge new facility represents much more than just the expansion of our physical footprint. It will allow us to deliver products more efficiently than ever before, and it will create hundreds of new job opportunities for the local community.”
The land just south, across 38th Avenue, and west of the new facility is also owned by Uline. Currently, Uline does not have any plans to build another facility, but it has the capability to build two additional 1 million-square-foot facilities on both pieces of land, according to Joe Stagnaro, distribution manager at Uline.
The village of Pleasant Prairie recently
gave final approval for a third office building for Uline at 9900 128
th Ave. in the Prairie Highlands Corporate Park. In addition to that building, Uline also recently signed a lease to operate out of a new 502,000-square-foot warehouse facility that it will call WX, located at 11290 80th Ave. in Pleasant Prairie, according to Stagnaro.
Uline's North American footprint spans over 28 million square feet including 13 regional branch locations and 15 sales offices across the Unites States, Canada, and Mexico.
Uline now occupies 15 buildings in Kenosha County including several large distribution centers on the Kenosha warehouse campus, plus two headquarters office buildings and additional distribution centers at the corporate headquarters campus in Pleasant Prairie.
