Columbus, Ohio — Palmer-Donavin has moved into a new facility in Hebron, Kentucky. The move allows the company to expand its service area to Nashville, Tennessee. The new facility is 200,000 square feet and the company will deliver to select dealers in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, and now Tennessee.
“We will be able to expand our service area without disrupting our current delivery days and, with the new facility, we can better serve our will-call business,” said Vic Enis, regional sales manager.
The move from West Chester, Ohio to Hebron, Kentucky makes the new facility more centrally located in the branch’s service area. Palmer Donavin says the new facility features better lighting, a style of concrete with fewer control joints, and a new configuration of racking to allow for more product to be warehoused.
“The layout of the racking in the new building has better flow of product that will allow us to be more efficient with the handling of product and timelier on transfers and deliveries. We’re also excited about the facility’s new construction as we expect less wear on equipment and on the bodies of employees. In terms of location, it is conveniently located close to Interstate-275, which will allow us to avoid morning rush hour traffic with route vehicles,” said Tom Bartlett, vice president of Operations.
Palmer-Donavin has eight locations throughout the Midwest and services dealers in 11 states.
