Karat Packaging Announces New Distribution Center in Arizona
-- Company also Announces Expanded Salesforce in Three Regions --
CHINO, Calif., February 15, 2024 – Karat Packaging Inc. (NASDAQ: KRT) (“Karat” or the “Company”), a specialty distributor and manufacturer of disposable foodservice products and related items, today announced it has signed a lease agreement for a 44,000 square-foot distribution center in Mesa, Arizona.
This new facility is Karat’s first distribution center in the Southwestern region outside of California, and it is anticipated to be fully operational in the second quarter of 2024.
Karat also announced an expansion of its national salesforce, with the addition of five sales representatives to further penetrate key U.S markets in the South, Midwest and Pacific Northwest regions.
“Our new distribution center will enable us to more efficiently serve customers in Arizona and New Mexico and enhance distribution productivity, as we continue to penetrate into this region,” said Alan Yu, Karat’s Chief Executive Officer. “We are adding local delivery and will-call pick-up options at this location, which, in turn, will reduce freight costs and lead time for our customers in the region.
“The new Arizona warehouse, along with our expanded sales team, also will allow us to further expand Karat’s marketing to national and regional chain accounts,” Yu added.
