MSC Industrial Supply opens Ohio DC
MSC Industrial Supply opened its fifth Customer Fulfillment Center in Columbus, Ohio.
MSC marked the occasion with a ribbon cutting ceremony.
MSC first announced plans for the new facility in the summer of 2012 when it purchased a 70 acre plot of land where the 400,000 square-foot facility now sits. The new CFC is currently home to 100 full-time associates, a number that is expected to grow to 300 by year-end 2017. The site is also designed to accommodate future expansion as MSC continues to grow.
"Our Columbus CFC will allow us to serve our customers, and particularly those in the Midwest, even better," said Erik Gershwind, president and chief executive officer of MSC. "Manufacturers and businesses across North America count on MSC to deliver metalworking and MRO solutions that are critical to helping them keep their operations up and running and competitive, and we take that responsibility seriously."
MSC invested approximately $55.5 million in capital expenditures to construct and outfit the facility in Columbus. In addition, Columbus 2020, City of Columbus, State of Ohio, JobsOhio, Franklin County, Columbus-Franklin County Finance Authority, and Columbia Gas structured tax and other incentives totaling approximately $9 million over the course of 10 years.
