On October 20, 2021, we announced the addition of our newest facility located within ten (10) miles of the Port of Savannah. Taylored Savannah, our company’s phase one expansion, will be more than 300,000 square footage establishing our TOP 100, Tier 1, Class A facility services in the low southern country while providing extensive opportunities for new and existing customers.
This is the latest advancement for our continuous expansion. The addition of distribution and fulfillment capacity and over 25,000 single-selective, six (6) high, and VNA pallet racking positions will support Importers of Record and domestic customer storage needs. Taylored Savannah will also provide over 160 trailer spots with a secured yard under 24/7 surveillance, making the facility a highly desirable location for transloading and cross-docking.
“This is an exciting time for our company,” VP of Operations Mike Letzter said. “It will allow Taylored to provide our customers with expanded distribution, fulfillment, and direct-to-consumer services in the Southeast, broadening Taylored’s national footprint and our ability to deliver parcel service to all zip codes in the States within two (2) days.”
Tom McCormack – Taylored CIO said, “Taylored Savannah will bring an abundance of state-of-the-art technologies and unit fulfillment capabilities to the east coast.” According to McCormack, “The company will roll out Koerber’s world-class, cloud-based Warehouse Management System (WMS) at this location that will provide advanced automation through Locus Robotics.”
Over the past 10 years, Savannah has become one of the fastest-growing major ports in the United States, making it a clear choice for retailers, wholesalers, and online / non-store-based businesses to include in their location profile. As of 2021, the Port of Savannah was the fourth busiest seaport in the United States, making it a clear choice for Taylored’s next port-centric location.
“Taylored is proud to have the opportunity to expand into the Southeast and provide outstanding customer support, strategy, and guidance to our nation’s top BCOs looking for an alternative to the port congestion that exists on the west coast,” said CAO Margaritta Topielski.
Taylored Savannah is set to begin transloading and cross-docking services as early as April 1, 2022. With Koerber WMS going online on May 1, 2022, the facility will start taking on distribution, fulfillment, and warehousing receipts & transfers in June 2022, with outbound shipments commencing on August 1, 2022, to major retail partners and directly to consumers.
