GE Appliances opens energy efficient DC

GE Appliances (GEA), a Haier company, has announced the opening of its newest West Coast area distribution center in Dixon, California near Sacramento. This addition to GEA’s distribution network will help ease supply chain congestion in the company’s DC near the Port of Los Angeles and reduce delivery times by half for customers in northern California, southern Oregon, and western Nevada, allowing for next day delivery, the company said. The energy efficient, LEED-certified warehouse also houses GEA Air & Water Solutions’ newest training facility where professional contractors and distributors can learn about the latest HVAC technology developments such as high-efficiency ductless systems and how to install these and other HVAC products. “Strengthening relationships with our customers is at the forefront of our decision-making at GE Appliances,” said Marcia Brey, vice president of distribution at GEA. “We’re excited to be able to better serve them with this new facility, which will allow us to reach local customers in half the time while supporting operational efficiency and our sustainability goals.”
