Case Study
A privately-held industrial products manufacturer/distributor with $2 billion+ in annual revenues was experiencing double-digit growth. They supply heavyduty tools and accessories for everyone from professional tradesmen and hobbyists to do-it-yourselfers. They also list several big box retailers such as Home Depot, Grainger, MSC Industrial and Ace Hardware as customers.
To better service these customers and expand operations to enable rapid growth, the company engaged FORTNA to consolidate four existing facilities into a new 600,000+ square foot distribution center.
Customer Success Case Study
Cintas needed to expand their distribution operations to meet growing demand for their facilities, garment and first aid supplies. FORTNA helped them transform their distribution network including the design-build of three new DCs that automated manual processes and added flexibility to their critical kitting operation. They can now respond more easily to market changes and are positioned to handle future growth.
