Orgill to Expand Mid-America SuperCenter

Orgill, Inc. has announced plans to increase the size of its Sikeston, Missouri, distribution center by more than 250,000 square feet.

The expansion will bring the total size of the state-of-the-art distribution facility to more than 1 million square feet.

“This next phase in the growth of our Mid-America DC is a testament to the growth both Orgill and our retail customers have experienced,” says Ron Beal, Orgill chairman, president and CEO . “We are committed to making investments that will ensure we continue to deliver the highest levels of service to our customers.”

First opened in August of 2009, the Mid-America SuperCenter is Orgill’s largest distribution center. The expansion will increase the facility’s capacity by more than 25 percent. Construction on the expansion is projected to be completed by year end.

Missouri Governor Jay Nixon was on hand for the announcement of the expansion.

“It’s rewarding to see firsthand how doing business in Missouri can give a company the competitive edge they need to grow,” Nixon says. “This is Orgill’s second expansion in Sikeston, and it will create more than 70 jobs and provide another boost to this region’s economy.”

In the six years since the facility opened, business has increased in the facility by more than 45 percent, according to Randy Willams, Orgill’s general manager – distribution.

“The expansion will enhance our Mid-America operation and our abilities to better service our customers, including our direct import cross docking, which services all Orgill’s Distribution Centers,” Williams says. ”Our mission is simple: help our customers be successful. The Orgill team will be able to accomplish this with our expanded operations here in this region and in this state.”
