Earlier, Kraft Heinz introduced a new distribution (DC) facility in Lathrop, California in an effort to decrease its carbon footprint and increase fill rates for consumers.

The state-of-the-art distribution center’s goal is to lessen the company’s environmental impact while bringing items to market more quickly and effectively.

The DC, which was formally inaugurated in June, was constructed by logistics real estate giant Prologis, who is leasing it to Kraft Heinz.

The structure will go forward as an example of infrastructure. According to a Prologis representative, Ryder anticipates hiring about 100 more staff members.
