The new 1.2 million square foot facility is the largest and most
efficient within VF’s global network of 46 distribution centers.
The facility's state-of-the-art automation and capabilities,
implemented in partnership with Vanderlande Industries, will enable
VF to provide more efficient distribution services for its owned
retail stores, wholesale customers and owned e-commerce orders.
The center’s 76-million-unit annual shipping capacity will
initially service Vans® and The North Face® with the capability to
add more VF brands. With a digital-first design, the center has the
capacity to ship 485,000 units per day – twice the processing
capacity and efficiency compared to a traditional distribution
center – and provide next day e-commerce fulfillment for consumers
in California, Nevada, Arizona and southern Utah.
The new center was designed to support VF’s sustainability
commitments, with features and innovative systems that help reduce
the impact on the environment, including an estimated 56% in annual
energy cost savings through energy efficient lighting, controls and
submetering, a total of 48% recycled content in building materials,
diversion of 98% of construction waste from the landfill, and
designing for daylight and views in the regularly occupied areas of
the building. The building design and construction has achieved
LEED Gold certification. LEED, or Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design, was created by the U.S. Green Building
Council (USGBC) and is the world’s most widely used green building
rating system. The building is on track to receive WELL Gold
certification, a performance-based standard that focuses on
enhancing health and wellness, managed and administered by the
International WELL Building Institute (IWBI).
Cameron Bailey, EVP Global Supply Chain commented: “We are proud
to introduce VF’s largest and most efficient distribution center to
date. Servicing our consumers and customers is our number one focus
and this facility allows us to get our product to our consumer
faster using technologically advanced equipment, which results in
reduced lead times and increased efficiency in meeting consumer
demands.”
Jon Watschke, Vice President, West Coast Distribution Center
Transition, added: “The new Distribution Center was designed with
employee health and well-being in mind. The center offers EV
chargers, both indoor and outdoor restorative areas and features a
robust fitness facility on site to encourage health and
wellness.”
Francisco Moreno Velo, President of Warehouse Solutions North
America, Vanderlande Industries, commented: “Vanderlande is proud
to partner with VF to implement market-leading, future-proof
automated warehouse solutions for the Ontario, California
distribution center to more effectively meet VF’s consumer demands
across wholesale, retail and e-commerce in the region.”
Recruitment for the fulfillment center took place throughout
early 2023. A majority of the roles have been filled, with
additional operator jobs to be added as volume increases.
