F.W. Webb breaks ground on 1 million-sq.-ft. central distribution facility
Bedford, Mass.-based F.W. Webb Co., recently held a groundbreaking ceremony at the site of its planned 1 million-sq.-ft. central distribution facility in Londonderry, N.H. Hailed as one of the largest facilities of its kind in New Hampshire, the facility will replace and be more than double the size of the company’s current CD in Amherst, N.H.
With a backdrop abuzz with heavy equipment and machinery, preliminary work continued unabated as state, local and F.W. Webb officials, along with many supporters, gathered at the construction site to mark the company’s latest milestone in its 150th year of business.
“Opening a much larger central distribution facility represents a major investment in our operations and a significant commitment to our customers and manufacturing partners,” said Jeff Pope, president of the F.W. Webb. “This huge state-of-the-art CD will allow us to offer our customers even more and better products, and reach further into the Northeast.”
