Due to high anticipated demand, the warehouse, operating under the name 'Garnica ExpressShip,' will prioritize service to the new Garnica Partner Community (GPC) a group of Garnica’s collaborative distribution partners. The facility will stock a wide selection of Garnica’s most popular products in standard and jumbo sizes as well as a variety of thickness options.

This expansion marks a crucial step in realizing Garnica’s ambitious growth plan in the coming years.”
Jorge Farulla, Garnica’s North American Logistics Manager will be leading the project alongside Smith. Farulla expressed his excitement, adding, “ExpressShip promises to completely revolutionize the way we move products throughout the US. Our lead times will now be less than one week for deliveries west of Mississippi, the effects of which will be felt at all levels of the supply chain from distributors to customers.”
