MONTEREY, Calif., May 19,
2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Excelligence Learning Corporation
announces the official opening of its Kansas fulfillment center located in the
heart of Kansas' intermodal
center: Gardner, Kansas. After
conducting a national search for centralization of its fulfillment
and manufacturing operations, Excelligence elected to partner with
LS Commercial Real Estate and USAA to build out the tech-enabled
facility in this vibrant, intermodal hub.
"We are excited to open this state-of-the-art fulfillment center
in Gardner, Kansas, creating over
200 full-time jobs with competitive wages," said Dipak
Golechha, Excelligence's CEO. "Our company has a long history of
job creation in the State of
Kansas, and we look forward to providing great opportunities
and an exceptional experience for our employees, customers and
other stakeholders. Strategically, the opening of this fulfillment
center gives us a long runway and significant capacity for future
growth and acquisitions."
With a tech-enabled infrastructure, Excelligence employees at
the 650,0000 plus square-foot fulfillment center will pack and ship
products for subsidiary companies Discount School Supply and Really
Good Stuff, both very well-known in the early childhood education
industry. In the ever more competitive e-commerce arena, the
fulfillment center's strategic geographic location, combined with
the state-of the-art systems, will enable faster customer order
processing and better service through a larger number of products
shipped from one central location.
"I am pleased that Excelligence chose to keep its fulfillment
operations in Kansas. Their
investment in Kansas is a strong
signal to industry leaders around the globe that Kansas has
the workforce and infrastructure it takes for companies to be
competitive," Governor Laura Kelly
said.
