Malouf Now Ships Entire Product Line to Midwest and Northeast from Ohio Warehouse

Utah-based Malouf has announced it is now actively shipping its entire product line to the Midwest and Northeast U.S. from its distribution center located in Frazeysburg, Ohio.
“We committed to this warehouse location to better serve our private label customers, and because that program has been very successful, we are now opening the distribution center to all Malouf products,” said Mike Douglas, vp of sales. “We realize many customers buy both Malouf branded and private label products, and this new warehouse will streamline shipping for that clientele.”
Earlier this year, Malouf acquired the 125-acre distribution property in central Ohio that adds a little over 1 million square feet to its total warehouse space. Previously, the building was a distribution center for Longaberger, a former distributor of handmade baskets and other lifestyle products.
“This new warehouse was strategically chosen to improve shipping for our wholesale partners and their customers,” Douglas said. “It also closes the gap between what the industry offers and what major retailers promise with two-day ground shipping.”
Malouf uses an efficient order processing system to quickly fulfill and ship orders, so most customers receive their product within two days of submitting their order. Currently, the company ships to the entire continental U.S. with an average delivery time of 1.93 days.
