With this new facility, SMP will now operate a multi-point distribution strategy for high-volume, fast-moving SKUs
New York—Standard Motor Products, Inc. (SMP) has announced the opening of its new, state-of-the-art national distribution center in Shawnee, Kan. The 575,000-square-foot facility was officially opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Tuesday, June 17. Members of the Shawnee Chamber of Congress, City of Shawnee leaders and SMP leadership were in attendance.
The Shawnee facility adds over 200,000 net square feet to SMP’s distribution footprint and provides a centralized location to provide coverage across the U.S., reducing transportation lead-time using the latest in logistics technology to enhance overall distribution capabilities.
With this new facility, SMP will now operate a multi-point distribution strategy for high-volume, fast-moving SKUs. Shawnee is located less than five miles from the existing Edwardsville distribution center and allows SMP to retain existing associates and management team. SMP intends to exit the Edwardsville distribution center at the end of the year.
