Topaz Lighting Inc., NY, a 35 year-old manufacturer of lighting fixtures and electrical fittings, opened a 200,000-sq-f. distribution center in Monroe Township, NJ. The consolidation of inventory from their PA and NY warehouses into a single new flagship location will improve fill rates and reduce split deliveries. With enough racking to store 20,000 pallets of material, this facility will serve as the Northeast distribution hub supplying Topaz’s customers and Topaz’s Rep warehouses.
Dave Ingemi, VP of Supply Chain and Global Operations, said in the press release, “Our new facility is an integral part of our nationwide distribution capability. The sheer capacity of product that can be housed in the facility and its proximity to the port gives us maximum capability in supplying customers, our other two distribution centers, and our 12 stocking rep facilities located strategically throughout the country.
