Grainger announces plans for new Oregon distribution center

Grainger 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 Pacific Northwest is a market we’ve identified as a strategic expansion location to stock many more products than we do today, benefitting more local customers.”
