Global manufacturer's distribution network
expansion project part of Hain Reimagined strategy enables
increased customer responsiveness, enhanced speed to shelf, and
reduced transportation costs
HOBOKEN,
N.J., Feb. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Hain
Celestial Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: HAIN), a leading global health and
wellness company whose purpose is to inspire healthier living
through better-for-you brands, is slated to bring online a new
distribution center this month. This completes a multi-year
expansion project designed to strengthen its customer relationships
by improving service through faster delivery, increased product
availability and lowered transportation costs, while simultaneously
enhancing efficiencies by reducing delivery route mileage
nationwide.
This month, the global manufacturer will begin distributing its
U.S.-based better-for-you brands out of Savannah, Ga., marking its fourth regional
distribution center. This expansion doubles Hain's U.S. network
capacity and minimizes the distance it takes to deliver products by
an anticipated 66% annually, ultimately allowing customers to
get Hain's snacks, baby & kids food, beverages and meal
prep products quicker and more efficiently.
"We're actively designing a more agile and robust distribution
network to optimize our supply chain nationwide. By strategically
expanding our network, we're significantly enhancing our ability to
respond swiftly to market demands and deliver our products more
effectively and efficiently to our customers," Hain Celestial Chief
Supply Chain Officer Steve Golliher
said. "We expect to see significant benefits from this approach,
including faster delivery times, increased efficiencies and
continued growth and innovation within our supply chain
operations."
Upon completion, the company anticipates the project to result
in:
- The ability to reach +90% of U.S. customers within 1-2 transit
days, an increase of 15%.
- A reduction in delivery route mileage by
approximately 66% – or roughly 2.6 million miles
– annually.
- Multimillion-dollar savings by reducing costs in fuel and
maintenance.
Historically, the company operated two distribution facilities
in Southern California and
Central Pennsylvania. In
December 2024, it expanded to a third
facility in Chicago, Ill. The
fourth facility in Savannah, Ga
enables a more geographic-centered, flexible distribution network
by strategically positioning distribution centers across the U.S.,
ensuring efficient and timely delivery to meet customer needs. All
four facilities are operated in conjunction with a third-party
logistics company, allowing for scalable space and throughput to
meet varying customer demands.
This strategic distribution transformation, which began in
spring 2023, underscores Hain's commitment to operational
excellence, and supports the Fuel and Build pillars of its Hain
Reimagined business strategy by investing in operational
efficiencies to strengthen its supply chain.
