Eastern Engineered Wood Products recently held a groundbreaking ceremony for the company’s new distribution center near Keysville, Va. The 32-acre parcel is located in Virginia’s Heartland Regional Industrial Park.
According to Eastern Engineered Wood Products, construction on the facility will be completed later in 2021. The distribution center will consist of office space, cutting buildings, a drive-through storage building, and vertical racking. Approximately 22 acres of the site will be finished for inventory lay-down.
The new Keysville, Va. distribution center will replace a smaller leased facility in Emporia, Va., and will expand Eastern Engineered Wood Products’ delivery footprint to new markets further west in Virginia and North Carolina. The new facility will also service customers in Washington, D.C., and parts of Maryland. Similar to the company’s distribution center in Bethlehem, Pa., the new location will be dedicated exclusively to the sale and distribution of engineered wood products.
“Our commitment to creating an exceptional customer experience ensures that our customers can expect accurate, on-time delivery of pieces, job packs, or truckloads of material in one to two days,” Eastern Engineered Wood Products president Todd Lindsey said in a prepared statement. “Even more important than stocking large inventories, hiring and training talented people is critical for us to meet our customers’ needs.”
Eastern Engineered Wood Products distributes structural floor and roof systems to the professional contractor market through a network of retail lumber dealers and truss manufacturers.
