SunOpta opened a new warehouse in Alexandria, Minn. that marks a step in SunOpta’s commitment to enhancing its storage and distribution capabilities while aligning with the company’s growth targets. The opening of this warehouse brings SunOpta’s distribution operations in-house and consolidates three sites in Alexandria to one. The new warehouse will hold finished goods, raw materials and ingredients, and it is expected to improve overall customer service and expand SunOpta’s handling and storage capabilities.
“This new warehouse plays a pivotal role in SunOpta’s long-term strategy and aligns seamlessly with our company goals to double our plant-based business by 2025 and drive sales to $2 billion by 2030,” says Joe Ennen, CEO of SunOpta. “With cutting-edge infrastructure and equipment, this new warehouse is poised to consolidate our operations, as well as improve our sustainability impact by reducing mileage and associated fuel costs with distribution. As Minnesota is home to our headquarters, we are encouraged to continue expanding in this area, and are empowered to meet the growing demand for plant-based food and beverage offerings.”
