New Millington, Tennessee, Distribution Center Features The Latest Technological Advances And Offers Same Day Shipping Of Orders Received By 9 P.M.

Santa Ana, Calif., and Millington, Tenn., Oct. 29, 1997
Ingram Micro Inc., the world's leading wholesale distributor of technology products and services, announced today it is celebrating the grand opening of its new 600,000-square-foot distribution center located in Millington, Tenn., which is north of Memphis. More than 200 associates, dignitaries and Ingram Micro executives will be attending the event on Wednesday, Oct. 29 from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m.

"This is a very exciting day for all of us at Ingram Micro," said Jerre L. Stead, chairman and CEO of Ingram Micro. "Our expansion efforts in Tennessee have been greatly supported and enhanced by the long-term commitment of the State of Tennessee, Shelby County and the Town of Millington."

Millington Facts and Figures
Aside from its size -- 600,000 square feet, built on 110 acres, with up to three levels of operations in each building -- the warehouse has 89 dock doors for easy loading and unloading of products. The facility also boasts 18,000 pallet locations and up to 26,000 bins which currently store more than 15,000 stock keeping units (SKUs). In addition, more than seven miles of conveyor belts, which can be operated from 90 to 540 feet per minute, ensure a fast and smooth shipping operation.

By early 1998, the Millington distribution center is expected to be fully staffed and employ 700 associates -- up from 440 currently. Ingram Micro has been operating in Tennessee since June 1995 when it opened its first 158,000 square-foot distribution center in Memphis. This latest expansion in Millington is the company's largest facility in the world.
