NEW CASTLE, Del., July 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Snow Joe®, and its complementary brands Sun Joe® and Aqua Joe® (http://snowjoe.com), a fast-growing, tech-driven, lawn and garden tools manufacturer, held its ribbon-cutting ceremony today to herald the opening of its newest East Coast distribution center located at the Delaware Logistics Center in New Castle, DE.
Attendees looked on as the ceremonial red ribbon was fittingly cut with a Sun Joe® cordless chain saw, a purposeful nod to the brand's innovative 24 Volt iON+ lithium-ion battery platform boasting over 150+ compatible cordless tools for maximum power and performance around your home and garden.
"We are excited to officially announce the opening of Snow Joe's New Castle distribution center, our third distribution center on the east coast," commented Paul Riley, Jr., Chief Operating Officer at Snow Joe. "Its strategic location allows us to more efficiently serve our customers, especially during winter season. We look forward to creating close to 100 family wage jobs in and around the New Castle community in the coming months."
Leased in October 2021, and marking Snow Joe's second industrial distribution center transaction in this year alone, the 207,294 sq ft Class A distribution center features over 9,500 pallet positions, robotic picking, and pallet-put-away automation, among other advanced warehouse management technologies to ensure faster delivery of Snow Joe® + Sun Joe® product to its customers. Not only will the opening of this east coast distribution center help Snow Joe® + Sun Joe® more efficiently distribute its easy-to-use, eco- conscious, and affordable lawn and garden tools, but it will also substantially grow the number of new jobs and opportunities for the residents of New Castle and surrounding communities.
Strategically located less than 10 miles from the Port of Wilmington, and with unparalleled access to the I-95/295 corridor, the New Castle distribution center provides numerous logistical advantages that Snow Joe intends to utilize to optimize its overall operational efficiencies. This distribution center will target all methods of fulfillment with a dedicated eCommerce area of the facility to ensure customer demand is promptly and reliably met.
Open positions will include forklift drivers, warehouse associates, logistics and administrative professionals, maintenance workers, heavy equipment operators, and inventory supervisors. Applicants are encouraged to apply at snowjoe.com/newcastlejobs
