Kroger taps KNAPP tech for distribution centre renovation
Kroger is working with KNAPP to expand the capacity and enhance the capabilities of its Great Lakes distribution centre in Delaware, Ohio, USA.
The facility is currently being renovated to add new technology, including KNAPP's OSR Shuttle Evo and RUNPICK systems, with work set for completion this summer.
The DC – which opened in 2003 and currently services 115 stores in central and northwest Ohio, southeast Michigan and the Ohio River Valley region – will be expanded by 130,000 square feet.
Tony Lucchino, Kroger’s Vice President of Supply Chain and Network Strategy, says: “Our investment in KNAPP’s latest technology allows the Great Lakes DC to improve efficiency in replenishing our stores, enabling us to quickly deliver fresh food to our customers.”
“The expansion of the facility is part of the ongoing transformation of our supply chain network, and this project will more than double our capacity while delivering innovation and scalability that can grow with demand. This collaborative project will allow us to better serve customers in the region.”
