Piping Rock set to expand with new facility
Piping Rock Health Products is expanding its footprint. The Ronkonkoma, N.Y.-based company is set to open a 330,000 sq. ft. in Aurora, Ohio, marking an expansion beyond its operations that have largely been focused in the Northeast.
“The Ohio location was carefully chosen to better leverage our operational capabilities,” said Scott Rudolph, Piping Rock CEO. “We’re excited to announce the opening of this facility because it allows us to better serve our customers and be more efficient. Our initial plan is to start warehousing and shipping with future expansion plans in subsequent years. This central location gives us flexibility by enhancing our shipping access points throughout the country. We will be able to better serve our customers by cutting down on transit times and reacting quicker to our customer needs.”
Piping Rock was recognized by Ohio with the Locate Award for its commitment to growing business and the local economy of Aurora. Rudolph said the company would explore additional locations throughout the country to continue to expand its footprint.
“We are investing in building for the future, so we are ready to react quickly to increases in demand,” Rudolph said. “The growth of our company continues to reach unprecedented levels, so we need to look ahead to stay ahead. While many companies today are consolidating and outsourcing to cut overhead costs, we are looking to invest in our future and our associates, for long term healthy growth.”
