Spectra Premium has announced that it has more than doubled its distribution footprint in the U.S.

The company is moving to a new 200,000 square foot distribution facility in Redlands, Calif.

The new facility is seen as an important step in facilitating Spectra Premium’s global distribution expansion strategy.

“Redlands was a prime location for us to secure,” says Michel Mombleau, Vice President, Logistics with Spectra Premium. “This location not only services our West Coast customer base but also allows for the receiving of raw materials components and finished products at this location due to its proximity to the Port of Los Angeles.”

Mombleau also said that the new Redlands facility will be one of a number of new locations the company plans to open in 2017.
