Threshold Enterprises Ltd., the nation’s second-largest distributor of nutritional supplements and natural health and beauty products, on Tuesday announced the opening of a new East Coast distribution center in Winchester.
The company said the 78,000-square-foot warehouse would result in lower freight costs and faster delivery times for East Coast customers previously served by the company’s Santa Cruz, Calif., warehouse.
“Winchester was the perfect choice for us, offering a centralized location for efficient delivery, along with a positive business climate and a strong pool of qualified employees,” Charles A. Powell, Threshold’s operations manager, said in a statement.
The company said it currently employs 80 people at its Winchester facility in Stonewall Industrial Park. It expects to employ more than 100 workers when fully operational by the end of the summer.
The company also plans to nearly double the warehouse space to 148,000 square feet as demand continues for its line of products.
