August 21, 2024- Cardinal Health announced plans to open a new distribution center in Walton Hills, Ohio, supporting its U.S. Medical Products and Distribution business. The facility will integrate new technology solutions, deliver operational efficiencies, and provide expanded capacity in the Cleveland, Ohio area. With construction underway, the distribution center is anticipated to be fully operational in the spring of 2025 and, at nearly 249,000 square feet, is more than 30% larger than the Cardinal Health location in nearby Solon, Ohio, it will replace. The larger building and its operations will accommodate a full transition of employees.
Next generation technology integrated into the building will improve workflows and help move medical products through the building more efficiently, enhancing the order-to-delivery experience for customers. Working alongside employees, automation will drive productivity and performance, while reducing risks of ergonomic injuries.
