SUPERIOR GROUP OF COMPANIES CONSOLIDATING HPI DISTRIBUTION CENTER INTO COMPANY’S EUDORA, ARKANSAS DISTRIBUTION CENTER
June 17 2020 - 5:42PM
Superior Group of Companies, Inc.® (NASDAQ: SGC) has
announced transitioning all HPI® Distribution Center operations in
Alpharetta, Georgia and Gainesville, Georgia to the company’s
largest and most technologically advanced semi-robotic worldwide
distribution center, located in Eudora, Arkansas.
It was determined that the Georgia facilities
could not be significantly upgraded in a manner that would make
economic sense. The Alpharetta/Gainesville Distribution
Center move is expected to be completed by early 4th quarter 2020.
A severance package will be offered to all affected
eligible employees. HPI’s offices will remain in Alpharetta
until suitable office space has been secured in the Atlanta
area.
The transition to Eudora will bring significant
advantages, including updated material handling technology,
decreased average receiving and shipment times, lower distribution
costs, improved customer service and the ability to scale and
handle aggressive growth plans.
“The transition to our Eudora Distribution Center will bring
best in class technology and operational capabilities to our HPI
customers. We thank our long term DC employees in Alpharetta
and Gainesville for their significant contributions to the success
of HPI over the years,” noted Charles Sheppard, Sr. VP of Global
Sourcing and Distribution.
Previously the company announced a multi-million dollar
investment to expand and upgrade the Eudora facility in 2020 to
support the HPI DC transition and future growth of the
business.
