TRACY, Calif. – Medline is prioritizing supporting its team after a fire impacted its distribution facility in Tracy, Calif., on June 11. The company says all employees and on-site personnel have been safely evacuated and accounted for. “We have connected with nearly all affected employees and are offering onsite and local support, resources including financial support and counseling services, and continued communication as we work through next steps together,” the company stated in an update on its website. Medline says it is all focused on continuing to serve customers in northern California and beyond. The company set up a command center on the day of the fire and has been working continuously 24 hours a day to maintain service and execute its network contingency plan, which includes secondary and tertiary distribution centers. “Medical products previously distributed through the Tracy facility have already been reassigned, and the vast majority of order lines have been rerouted to other Medline distribution centers within our regional network to support our customers’ needs,” it stated. “We have also boosted regional staffing, regional inventory and transportation capacity through increased use of MedTrans trucks, third-party carriers, and truck relay operations to accelerate product movement throughout the impacted region.”
