New Facilities in California and Mexico

The new fulfillment center in Rialto, California, spans 678,000 square feet and is strategically positioned near Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), the fourth largest airport in the United States. This location is expected to enhance logistics efficiencies for CIRRO Fulfillment by facilitating quicker access to air freight services, thereby optimizing delivery times.

This center promises delivery times of 1 to 3 days for full-truck shipments and 2 to 7 days for bulk shipments.

Operational Scope and Strategic Focus

CIRRO Fulfillment operates more than 80 fulfillment centers, emphasizing warehouse and international logistics services. The latest expansions align with the company’s strategic focus on enhancing its infrastructure to support growing demands in logistics and distribution, particularly in direct-to-consumer (DTC) operations in the Western United States.

These new centers are expected to play a pivotal role in CIRRO Fulfillment’s logistics network, facilitating seamless cross-border operations between the U.S. and Mexico. By leveraging these strategic locations, the company aims to improve delivery efficiency and customer satisfaction.

The Hebron upgrade will include the incorporation of advanced automation and artificial intelligence technologies. These enhancements are part of Stord’s broader strategy to improve operational efficiency and support its Western U.S. direct-to-consumer fulfillment operations. The integration of proprietary systems for warehouse management is expected to streamline processes and reduce operational costs.

Future Initiatives

Further plans include the establishment of a new warehouse location in Dallas, reinforcing the company’s commitment to expanding its logistics network. This initiative is part of Stord’s long-term growth strategy to enhance its distribution capabilities and service offerings.
