Mutoh Opens New West Coast Distribution Center
Mutoh calls this a big step forward for the company as it will improve shipping cost savings for its customers as well as shorten the time they take delivery on their order.
Phoenix-based wide-format printer and cutter manufacturer Mutoh America announces the opening of its new distribution center in Carson, California, not far from the port of Long Beach.
According to Mutoh, the new, large facility is ISO 9001-rated and offers state-of-the-art inventory tracking to handle the company’s products once they are transported from the Port of Long Beach after arriving from the company’s manufacturing campus in Japan.
Mutoh says the new facility adds to its already existing distribution centers that serve the Americas-in Arizona and Panama-and that the addition will shorten the company’s time to market, increase flexibility in order processing, improve operational efficiency and offer customers savings in both shipping costs and in the time needed for them to receive their goods.
“This is a huge step forward for Mutoh America,” says Brian Phipps, president of Mutoh America. “Being in (the Los Angeles area) and becoming more efficient plus lowering costs are key to any company, and this allows us to do just that.”
Mutoh America also has learning facilities in Torrance, California; Chicago; and Phoenix.
