Grainger, a distributor of maintenance, repair and operating (MRO) products and services, recently celebrated the grand opening of its Northwest Distribution Center in Gresham, OR. The facility represents a significant investment in both the Gresham community and the broader Pacific Northwest. It strengthens Grainger's North American supply chain network and enhances its ability to provide businesses, government agencies, and institutions across the region with reliable access to essential MRO products and services when and where they need them.
"The Northwest Distribution Center is an important addition to Grainger's supply chain network, enabling us to provide customers across the Pacific Northwest with faster, more efficient access to the products and services they need to keep operations running," said Kristi Braverman, Group Vice President, Distribution Operations at Grainger. "We are proud to invest in this community, create local employment opportunities, and strengthen our ability to support businesses and institutions throughout the region."
Grainger has served customers in Oregon since 1945 and today employs 240 team members across the state. Located about 16 miles from Portland, the Northwest Distribution Center expands the company's operational footprint in the Pacific Northwest and supports continued regional growth. The 550,000-sq.-ft. facility creates approximately 150 new jobs, enhances distribution capabilities, and reflects Grainger's long-term commitment to investing in the communities where customers and team members live and work, the company reported.
As part of the grand opening celebration, Grainger presented a donation to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Portland Metropolitan Area, reflecting the company's ongoing dedication to supporting young people, families, and communities where its team members live and work.
A grand opening celebration took place at the Northwest Distribution Center and included remarks from Grainger leaders, elected officials, and community partners. The event also featured recognition of key industry and business partners, an official ribbon-cutting and facility dedication ceremony, and guided tours of the facility.
