New facility will enhance service proximity for customers
OAKVILLE, ON, April 29 /CNW/ - Accuristix, Canada's leading healthcare-focused third party logistics provider, proudly announces the launch of a new facility in Vancouver, British Columbia. The new 58,000 square foot distribution centre will be a fully operational extension of the company's warehousing, distribution and advanced technology capabilities, increasing accessibility for customers in the region.
"Our clients and their customers will benefit from local product availability and reduced ship times that meet the same standards of excellence in quality and process we maintain at our other centres," says Brian MacAskill, Vice President of Strategic Operations at Accuristix. "It will be particularly beneficial to those who receive products from Asia."
The new facility is located at 10118 Swenson Way in Delta, BC just southeast of Vancouver. It will officially open on May 1.
