Waring To Add Distribution Hub Abroad

Equipment manufacturer Waring says its new distribution facility, set to open this September, will offer several benefits to its customers in Europe.

The 330,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art building will be located in northern France, where it will have access to key ports of Zeebrugge, Rotterdam, Antwerp and Dunkirk. The location will help improve order delivery speed, resulting in more competitive pricing and shipping rates, Waring says. The facility also will increase international accessibility to its full slate of commercial kitchen appliances, which include high-performance, large-volume food processors and blenders, heavy-duty heating appliances such as grills, griddles, toasters and deep fryers, and various specialty products.

On the after-sales support side, the addition also is set to improve service and repair, with quicker shipping of replacement items and improved customer communications. The facility will employ 50, including teams for quality control, order packing, transport, inventory management, customs clearances, maintenance and finance.

“Waring is committed to meet the evolving needs of our customer base and this integrated high-performance resource will now support the commercial distribution activities of Waring Products, throughout Europe and beyond,” says Waring General Manager and Senior Vice President Dan DeBari. “Waring’s new European distribution facility will provide Waring products with an incredible resource for continued growth globally.”
