Ahold Delhaize USA’s supply chain operations companies, ADUSA Distribution and ADUSA Transportation, have recently welcomed a new addition to its network. ADUSA Distribution recently converted its newest distribution center located on Elizabeth Drive in Chester, New York, bolstering network capabilities and moving closer to being an integrated self-distribution network.
“We’re excited to welcome Chester into the supply chain network,” said Sanja Krajnovic, Executive Vice President, ADUSA Distribution and Transportation. “The conversion of the site is an important step in the completion of our work to move to a self-distributed network. We look forward to delivering our ‘Trusted to Always Deliver’ mission in Chester so the brands we serve can be depended on by their customers whenever, wherever, however they want to shop.”
This expansion comes in the form of a facility transition. The C&S Wholesale Grocers Chester facility now serves Stop & Shop and Hannaford stores, with an anticipated volume of 65 million cases of product each year.
As noted in the release, the site features nearly 600,000 square feet of multi-temperature and freezer warehousing space. The yard features more than 350 trailer spots with nearly 100 dock doors to keep items moving in and out as seamlessly as possible.
“There’s a great team in place at Chester, and we’re excited for this opportunity to serve our brand partners more directly and continue to be a great neighbor in the Chester community,” said Sammy Tsang, Director, Operations for the Chester distribution center.
The supply chain network serving Ahold Delhaize USA companies is one of the most expansive on the East Coast, moving more than 1.2 billion cases in 2022.
