New Location Positions Company to Advance Operations and Support Future Growth
Tewksbury, Feb. 1, 2022 – Griffin, one of the largest horticultural brokers and suppliers in the United States, announced today the relocation of its Aurora, CO facility to Denver, CO. The new state-of-the-art facility is 36,200 square feet with 1,900 square feet of administrative office space.
“We are thrilled to be relocating our facility to Denver, as the area will provide the foundation for our new growth initiatives going forward. This makes it an ideal distribution center for the West Coast,” said Duane Salenger, Director of Operations for Griffin. “We now have a distribution center in CO that can receive, stock, and ship enough retail and wholesale products to specifically service the West Coast regions,” continued Salenger.
The new location was built to suit our needs with 32’ high ceilings which allows more space for inventory. Griffin will also be implementing a new WMS system in the new facility.
Expanding to from 18,500 square feet to 36,200 square feet is a substantial upgrade from the Company’s prior facility. The prior facility was 440,000 cubic feet and Griffin’s new facility is 992,000 cubic feet; representing a product storage increase of 134%. The new facility will provide the necessary infrastructure for Griffin to continue to build on its current momentum and sales in the United States.
