Sedlak designed and implemented a state-of-the-art distribution center to address rapid growth and outdated systems within various facilities. The project required integration into a single, modern facility with advanced material handling and systems infrastructure, all completed within an aggressive timeline of under eleven months. Sedlak’s comprehensive approach included developing a robust material handling design, coordinating information systems, and ensuring seamless operational transition, resulting in a 770,000 sq. ft. facility with future expansion capabilities and advanced sorting technology, delivered on time and under budget.
