DUBLIN, Ohio—Cardinal Health (CAH) announced the opening of a new distribution center in Greenville, South Carolina, which will focus on its at-Home Solutions business. The new distribution center is expected to add roughly 200 jobs to the region over time. CAH at-Home Solutions provides home health care medical supplies and helps customers across the nation manage their medical supply needs, including those who have chronic or critical medical conditions.
At 350,000 square feet, it is the largest distribution center supporting the CAH at-Home Solutions business, as well as the second distribution center CAH has built from the ground-up.
"There's tremendous growth opportunity as health care continues to shift to the home," said Rob Schlissberg, president of CAH at-Home Solutions. "Consumers are setting the stage—they want to manage their health conditions comfortably from home, something that's especially important to our aging population. Our expansion into Greenville allows us to continue to deliver on our promises to customers and their patients, while creating a resilient supply chain to support this sustained growth."
The local warehouse employees will work alongside the latest automation, artificial intelligence and robotics technology to ship nearly 8,000 packages directly to patients' homes daily. These packages include products like diabetic supplies, incontinence and ostomy supplies, breast pumps, enteral nutrition pumps, formulas and more.
"We often say, 'When you touch a package, you touch a patient's life,' and we take this motto seriously," said Schlissberg. "We're excited to invite the Greenville community to be a part of our vital mission of delivering medical supplies to patients exactly when and where they need them."
Greenville is home to many manufacturing and distribution industry companies, offering the workforce required to support this facility's operations. Hank Hyatt, senior vice president of economic competitiveness for the Greenville Chamber, said he is pleased to welcome this new distribution center to the region.
"Cardinal Health at-Home Solutions is a great fit for Greenville—our innovation-forward region is perfectly suited to help this business support its critical services within an increasingly significant healthcare sector," said Hyatt. "We're proud Cardinal Health saw the value in our community that has a strong workforce, world-class transportation assets and a wonderful quality of life, and we look forward to having them be part of Greenville for years to come."
