A
new 1,100,000-square-foot facility is being built in Silver Spring Township
that will serve as a distribution center for a company with a familiar name.
Whirlpool is
building the new distribution center at 100 Fry Drive that will provide storage
for major appliances from all of the company's brands and product categories,
including laundry, refrigeration, cooking and dishwashing.
The
new facility will be 300,000-square-feet larger than the company's current
Carlisle-area distribution center which is in Dickinson Township. The facility
will be managed by Penske Logistics. The company said in an e-mail that it will
transition its footprint from the current facility into the new building
in Silver Spring Township. The 90 employees, who are Penske employees, will
transition to the new facility and Whirlpool will monitor the need for
additional employees.
Exeter
Property Group and Penntex Construction will develop and construct
the property. The new center in Silver Spring Township is in the New Kingstown
area, and is expected to become operational in the third-quarter of
2017. A ground-breaking ceremony was held on Wednesday.
Whirlpool
Corporation has around 97,000 employees and 70 manufacturing and technology
research centers throughout the world.
