1.44 Million-square-foot warehouse opening December 2024, adding 200+ new jobs in the Kenosha area
KENOSHA, WI. – Uline, North America’s leading distributor of shipping, industrial, and packaging materials, is proud to announce the opening of the largest warehouse in Wisconsin, and among the top 20 largest warehouses in the nation. The new facility, open for shipping this month, spans an impressive 1.44 million square feet, further expanding Uline’s vast network of distribution centers across the region.
Located in Kenosha County, the new warehouse expects to employ over 200 people, and fill a range of positions including warehouse associates, management, facilities services, and more. Uline decided on this addition back in 2022 to keep up with increasing customer demand, and to more efficiently deliver to customers across North America.
This state-of-the-art warehouse will feature an on-site fitness center, a cafe, and will stock many of the more than 40,000 products from Uline’s 840+ page catalog. Since opening its first warehouse in Kenosha in 2009, Uline has experienced steady growth, and this investment is part of Uline’s ongoing efforts to meet the increasing demand for its product and deliver exceptional service to its customers.
“This expansion represents a significant milestone for Uline, and for Wisconsin,” says Sr. Director of Redistribution, Wade Goff. “This huge new facility represents much more than just the expansion of our physical footprint. It will allow us to deliver products more efficiently than ever before, and it will create hundreds of new job opportunities for the local community.”
This facility boasts over 33 acres of warehouse, all built on 179 acres of Kenosha County. The “Mother of all Warehouses” will add to Uline’s current 9.6 million square feet of corporate and warehouse buildings headquartered in Southeastern Wisconsin, bringing the company’s presence to 10+ million square feet in Kenosha County alone. As a family-owned company, Uline focuses on sustained growth instead of short-term profit that drives many public companies. This staggering achievement further demonstrates Uline’s significant growth in the state, and in the nation.
As Uline continues to grow and provide stable employment in the Kenosha area, the company is currently hiring to staff its newest Kenosha facility and is holding a hiring event on January 18, 2025. Interested candidates can learn more at uline.jobs.
