ALOM Triples Midwest Service Capacity with Opening of New Indianapolis Facility
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ALOM, a global leader in supply chain management services, expanded its Midwest and Eastern regional service capacity by opening its new 160,000 square-foot production and fulfillment facility in Indianapolis. ALOM President and CEO, Hannah Kain cut the ribbon officially opening the facility at a September 12, 2019 ceremony attended by civic and business leaders including City of Indianapolis Deputy Mayor for Economic Development Angela Smith Jones and Indianapolis District 22 City and County Councilor Jared Evans, as well as several of the brand-name customers who made the expansion possible.
In addition to providing supply chain services ranging from ecommerce fulfillment to digital print, media duplication, kitting and production, ALOM's Indianapolis presence provides its Fortune 500 customers with technology-driven supply chain strategies and U.S.-based resources to mitigate risk in an uncertain global trade environment. Combined with ALOM's West coast operations, the company can process 20,000 orders per hour and deliver via ground service to 80% of contiguous U.S. addresses in less than 48 hours. The new ALOM Indianapolis facility is located at 3910 Waldemere Ave.
"I am excited that ALOM will be providing our customers with expanded services and higher capacity volumes. Right now, global organizations need agile product and service delivery strategies more than ever. Across our global network and most specifically through this sparkling new facility, ALOM is ideally positioned to respond quickly to meet the fast-changing needs of major corporations," said ALOM President and CEO Hannah Kain, who spoke at the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Ms. Kain continued, "I am proud of our Indianapolis team. Led by Leo Geib, the group achieved not only ISO 9001 certification, but also the coveted ISO 13485 and TL 9000 certifications for medical devices and telecommunications, respectively."
The building was constructed in 2019 and designed to suit ALOM's needs perfectly. In alignment with ALOM's sustainability goals, the building is designed for energy efficiency with state-of-the-art lighting, equipment automation and heating/cooling systems. In addition, to eliminate single-use plastic water bottles, there are filtered water stations located throughout the plant for employee use.
"ALOM is an outstanding example of responsible business growth and visionary innovation. The team's dedication to serving the region and contributing to its economic vitality is a key driver of the company's success here," said Deputy Mayor for Economic Development Angela Smith Jones.
ALOM plans to increase its employment locally by 25 percent as a result of the expansion.
This growth milestone takes place two years to the day following ALOM first serving customers from Indianapolis where they initially operated a 50,000 sq. ft facility on Executive Drive. Fueled by customer growth and added service offerings requiring additional warehouse, production and fulfillment capacity, ALOM has now tripled its operational footprint in the region and significantly enhanced its capacity to execute their customers' global supply chain operations across North America.
Today ALOM's Midwestern hub serves customers ranging from auto manufacturers to life science companies with a full range of supply chain services to include procurement, production, fulfillment, ecommerce, in-house digital print and media duplication.
