S&S also plans to invest an estimated $50 million in inventory at the location to support continued growth across Western Canada.Designed with team members’ daily work in mind, the facility features larger, more ergonomic pick locations. Expanded shipping and receiving docks help reduce congestion, while a new shipping conveyor supports shipment sorting and trailer loading to keep orders moving.The Vancouver opening builds on S&S’s ongoing investment in its North American distribution network. Earlier this month, the company announced plans for a new 500,000-square-foot distribution center in the Phoenix metro area, scheduled to begin operations in late summer 2027.“Our investments in Vancouver and Phoenix reflect how we’re building our distribution network for the future,” said Josh Clark, Chief Operating Officer at S&S. “We’re focused on staying ahead of customer needs and creating the infrastructure to support their businesses as they grow.”Founded in 1988 and headquartered in Bolingbrook, Illinois, S&S is a tech-forward leader in branded merchandise distribution, helping customers grow through a powerful combination of products, technology, services and business solutions. With more than 80 brands and an expansive distribution network, S&S empowers businesses across North America with the scale, expertise and reliability they need to succeed.View source version on businesswire.com: This advertisement has not loaded yet.Notice for the Postmedia NetworkThis website uses cookies to personalize your content (including ads), and allows us to analyze our traffic.
