The Kraft Heinz Company announces a $400 million investment to construct an advanced, automated distribution center in DeKalb, Illinois, aiming to revolutionize its supply chain and significantly minimize its environmental footprint. The facility will have an automated storage and retrieval system that will be operational 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The new automated consumer packaged goods (CPG) distribution hub is expected to distribute more than 60% of Kraft Heinz’s food service business. It will be built in DeKalb, Illinois, covering a space area of about 775,000 square feet. Once built, the distribution hub will be one of the largest in the North American region.
Kraft Heinz’s plans to build this facility will allow it to double the volume of its customer deliveries. The company said the automated CPG distribution center will also help lower and minimize its environmental footprint.
Likewise, through sustainable technology and less waste, the multinational food company will be another step closer to achieving its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals. It was added that the facility will help the company to deliver its products more efficiently to its customers in the food service and retail businesses.
“As we continue on our journey to lead the future of food, our talented North America teams and collaborative external partners are innovating at a rapid pace to expand our supply chain capabilities,” FoodBev Media quoted Kraft Heinz’s executive vice president and president of North America Carlos Abrams-Rivera, as saying. “The DeKalb distribution center is expected to play a critical role in our larger distribution strategy, moving more than 60% of Kraft Heinz dry goods in North America through our automated facilities.”
He added, “It is a testament to the dynamic, out-of-the-box thinking of our supply chain teams whose work enables us to operate with greater efficiency and agility every day.”
Meanwhile, the new Kraft Heinz distribution center in Illinois is also expected to create at least 150 new jobs in the territory.
