Procter & Gamble has a new distribution center outside of Dayton, Ohio, and the company says it willl hire 800 new employees to staff it by the end of 2015.
The new facility is 1.7 million sq. ft., and located in Union, Ohio. Excel, a logistics provider based in Westerville, Ohio, will run the distribution center. It will help P&G consolidate its smaller distribution centers, in an effort to cut costs by creating larger, more efficient facilities that are located closer to its customers.
Cincinnati.com reports that while P&G's ongoing restructuring has cut thousands of jobs since 2012, the new center will create hundreds of jobs in the region. P&G has commissioned similar new facilities in Atlanta, Dallas, Southern California and Southern Pennsylvania, while expanding an existing distribution center in suburban St. Louis.
