Home furnishings supply chain specialist Zenith Global Logistics, Conover, N.C., has opened a regional freight hub in Atlanta dedicated to its expanding home delivery service as well as its growing split container program.

"Increased demand for our home-delivery service in the Atlanta area was a key factor in establishing our latest hub in that region," said Jack Hawn, president and CEO. "We're also keenly aware that furniture retailers are facing fluctuating inventory and storage capacity needs in this challenging economy. They are relying on our split container program more than ever to help them maintain changing inventory needs."
 
The Atlanta hub is Zenith Global's third domestic expansion within the last year, and it brings the company's network of facilities to six throughout the United States. Zenith Global opened a regional freight hub in Tupelo, Miss., last November, three months after it established a 204,000-square-foot, multi-tenant warehousing and distribution center in Claremont, N.C. Future network expansions include facilities in Seattle, Chicago, Orlando and Elizabethtown, N.J.

"Especially in our tough economy, retailers are looking for ways to stand out," said David Alioto, who joined Zenith in March as executive vice president of home delivery services. "Zenith Global's carefully developed in-home delivery program is exactly the type of service offering a retailer can leverage to give their business a competitive edge."

Zenith Global Logistics is a total supply chain logistics provider specializing in international and domestic home furnishings warehousing, overseas transportation and domestic distribution, covering all of North America and the Caribbean. Zenith currently operates more than 4.5 million square feet of warehouse domestically, including facilities in Southern California, Dallas, Mississippi, North Carolina and Virginia.
