The 309,000-square-foot addition will add 48,000 pallet positions to its facility in Franklin, Indiana, USA, which is situated about 20 miles south of Indianapolis.
The expansion will also add 54 new dock doors to the building as well as additional material handling, maintenance, machine room, electrical and office areas. Once the project is complete, the premises will offer customers use of 885,000 square feet of space featuring more than 128,000 pallet positions.
