Metrie expanding in Louisville
Metrie, the manufacturer and distributor of millwork solutions, is adding a new "retail" distribution center in Louisville, Kentucky.
The new facility is set to be fully operational by the end of this year.
According to Metrie, the move puts the company in a position to continue its growth with its top retail customer, Lowe’s.
The Louisville facility will provide enhanced customer service, speed to market, and flexibility – supporting operational and logistical efficiencies across its retail business.
“The addition of the Louisville facility supports our commitment to building the best supply chain solutions in the industry,” commented Joe Woods, vice president and general manager of retail for Metrie. “The Metrie Retail team is excited for the new opportunities that this facility will bring for both the Metrie team and Lowe’s.”
Metrie currently operates 6 solid wood and MDF manufacturing facilities along with 26 distribution centers in the United States and Canada.
“Growth continues to be on the forefront at Metrie as we continue to expand through new and improved facilities and recent acquisitions,” said Kent Bowie, Metrie president and CEO. “The addition of the Louisville facility is another step in the pursuit of Metrie’s growth strategy – to be North America’s most trusted integrated millwork provider.”
“In an ever-changing and dynamic industry, we are making commitments and business decisions to continue delivering the exceptional customer service that Metrie is known for,” Bowie added. “The Louisville facility is one example of how we continue to execute on our customer promise."
