Early success of the Hanson Consolidation Center has moved up planning for phases 2 and 3. We welcome a number of new clients to the facility, whose activity is building momentum for the Hanson Velocities Multi-Vendor Consolidation Program. As most readers know, moving consolidation and distribution programs to a new facility is a very deliberate decision, often supported by network optimization studies.
