Distribution center adds 350 jobs in Tennessee
Helen of Troy Limited, a designer and developer of consumer housewares and other products, is expanding in Tennessee.
The company is building a new 2 million-square-foot distribution facility in Gallaway, Tennessee that will create 350 jobs. Julien R. Mininberg, CEO of Helen of Troy Limited, said the new building will house a state-of-the-art automation and direct-to-consumer fulfillment facility.
“Having grown our sales by more than 60 percent since we launched our Transformation Plan seven years ago to over $2 billion, this new distribution center is a critical project to catch up with our expansion and deliver on our future growth strategies with greater scale and efficiency,” Mininberg said.. “The new facility expands our distribution operations in the region, allowing us to re-optimize our existing facilities to better fit the specific needs of each of our business segments as we serve our retail and direct-to-consumer customers.”
