Importantly, by eliminating the need for multiple off-site transfers, the company says it has significantly cut down on transportation emissions, a move that aligns with Gemline’s betterway commitment to corporate social responsibility.
“This strategic move not only increases our storage capacity but significantly improves our operational efficiency,” said Mike Braley, VP of operations. “By consolidating our warehousing into one nearby location, we have enhanced our ability to manage inventory and supply chain logistics, which will better serve our customers and support our continued growth.”
