Maersk Warehousing & Distribution Services USA LLC, an A.P. Moller – Maersk company has opened a new 1.2 million square foot omnichannel fulfillment facility in Groveport, Ohio, to help serve Levi Strauss & Co.’s wholesale, retail, and e-commerce channels. For Maersk, this represents a capstone to its comprehensive logistics support for LS&Co., which includes end-to-end solutions from origin consolidation to omni-channel fulfillment. For LS&Co., the facility is a key element in an ongoing distribution and logistics network transformation designed to significantly increase best-in-class omnichannel capabilities and further the company’s push to become a Direct-to-Consumer (DTC)-first business. Operations at the Groveport facility commenced in August.

The new facility will help lower LS&Co.’s costs while reducing container handling time and enhancing speed and efficiency. The site’s strategic location, given Groveport’s strong transportation network and labor market, aligns well with LS&Co.’s go-to-market strategy, allowing the company to reach more U.S. consumers faster.

Over the course of the next several months the Maersk operations team will install advanced EuroSort systems capable of processing 100 million outbound units annually. The facility will feature the latest implementation of Maersk’s proprietary Warehouse Management System (WMS) for operational efficiency.

Across North America, Maersk operates over 85 warehousing facilities covering aproximately 22.5 million square feet. The company offers consolidation, deconsolidation, storage, distribution or omnichannel fulfilment. Learn more about Maersk’s warehousing and distribution services in North America on Maersk.com.
