Sunpan announces major new Houston warehouse
March 28, 2023
BAYTOWN, Texas – Toronto-based furniture supplier Sunpan will add a new 200,000-square-foot warehouse near Houston. The facility is set to be operational by the fourth quarter.
Combined with its Toronto facility, the addition will bring the company’s total distribution space to nearly half a million square feet.
“Opening a dedicated warehouse in the United States has been a long time coming,” said Sunpan President and CEO Sundeep Bagga. “We have spent the past few years planning this major expansion to better serve our incredible and rapidly growing U.S. customer base. Our company looks forward to the launch of our very first U.S. warehouse that will make it easier and faster for our customers to access our products.”
The new facility is near Houston Port, one of the largest seaports in the U.S. Sunpan says it plans to leverage the strategic location of this warehouse to accelerate the pace of inbound and outbound shipments at the facility, which will result in more products being available in-stock and reduce wait times for customers.
“Our business in the U.S. has grown significantly over the past few years,” said Carl Lovett, vice president of sales. “The decision to open our first U.S. warehouse in Houston demonstrates our strong commitment to our American customers, as well as our growing customer base in Latin America.”
The facility will create 50 new jobs.
Sunpan currently operates showrooms in High Point, Las Vegas and Toronto and participates in the Las Vegas HD show. For the first time in 2023, the company also will participate in the BDNY show in New York City.
The company specializes in transitional and contemporary furnishings. It sells exclusively to furniture retailers, interior design firms and other members of the design trade.
