NORTHFIELD, Ill. – Medline celebrated its now fully operational 710,000-square-foot distribution center in Salt Lake City with a ribbon cutting ceremony and facility tours. The new distribution center is three times the size of its previous facility in the city. “Medline has history in Salt Lake City and a larger facility will help us take care of more health care facilities across the continuum of care,” said Steve Miller, executive vice president of supply chain. “Today we are excited to celebrate our fully operational facility and our employees who work hard every day to ensure the success of our customers.” The Salt Lake City facility is part of Medline’s ongoing Healthcare Resilience Initiative, in which Medline has invested $2 billion since 2018 in domestic manufacturing, distribution and IT to strengthen the country’s health care supply chain. As part of the initiative, Medline added eight constructed distribution centers, totaling 9.7 million square feet, and expanded manufacturing capabilities during the pandemic to help meet ongoing time-to-market demands for PPE.
