BRAMPTON, ON- Faced with growing demand for its outsourced, supply-chain services, Progistix-Solutions Inc. (Progistix) has just opened a new, world-class distribution facility located adjacent to the Pearson International Airport. The high-tech, 150,000 sq. ft. warehousing centre will enhance Progistix’s ability to provide clients with integrated services by utilizing the latest in business process design, IT and supply chain execution capabilities.
“The new facility allows flexibility for growth while reducing operational complexity,” says Peter Knowles, Vice-President, Operations. “We can deliver exceptional service levels and effectively leverage our SAP backbone.”
