MD Logistics has expanded its operations with a 55,000-sq.-ft. facility in Reno, NV. This new facility will operate as an FDA-registered, pharmaceutical grade warehouse, adhering to cGMP compliance. Capabilities will include controlled room temperature and cold chain storage and distribution services.

MDL currently operates two facilities used for retail and pharmaceutical goods distribution in Plainfield, IN. With the addition of the Reno distribution center, MDL’s facilities are now within a 24-hour drive of 80% of the U.S. population.

Mark Sell, MDL’s president, remarked, “MD Logistics’ new state-of-the-art distribution site will allow us to continue to improve our supply chain execution by providing improved efficiencies for the expanding west coast customer base. With the addition of our Reno facility, we provide our growing Pharmaceutical cold chain and Retail clients both contingency and cost savings.”

The expansion to Reno is expected to create approximately 20 new jobs ranging from warehouse personnel to managers and supervisors. MDL has relocated a key group of managers to get the new facility up and running, and will have the warehouse fully staffed in 2012.
