Grainger Plans New Oregon Distribution Center
Grainger, a distributor of maintenance, repair, and operating products serving businesses and institutions, announced plans to open a 500,000-square-foot distribution center in Gresham, Oregon in 2025.
The new Northwest Distribution Center will enhance customer service across the Pacific Northwest, providing the company additional capacity to continue delivering best-in-class, next-day complete orders across the United States. Grainger plans to break ground this summer.
“Opening a new, highly automated distribution center ensures we can continue to reach 99 percent of the U.S. market the next day,” said Barry Greenhouse, Grainger Senior Vice President and President of Global Supply Chain and Customer Experience.
The company anticipates the new facility will employ approximately 80 team members when complete and, over time, employ more than 150 people. The building will be constructed on a vacant 48-acre parcel of land in an industrial area of Gresham, about 16 miles from Portland.
