Weber Distribution Opens a New Facility in Stockton, California

As part of its growing network, Weber Distribution, a leading third party logistics and supply chain management provider, announced today that it has opened a new facility in Stockton, California, the key hub location for Northern California.

At the facility, Weber is servicing its expanding base of food, confectionary, beverage, CPG and retail customers. The facility provides LTL, truckload, storage and value-added services for all of Northern California and Nevada ranging from Fresno to Redding and San Francisco to Reno.

The Stockton facility was custom-built for Weber and is divided into temperature-controlled and dry storage and offers a variety of services, including order processing, label generation, inventory control, routing guide compliance, and pick & pack. Weber has closed its facility in Lodi, California and has moved its customers to Stockton to service the growing region.

Located between the 99 and the main West Coast Interstate I-5, the City of Stockton is one of California's fastest growing cities. Stockton is 60 miles east of the San Francisco Bay Area, 83 miles east of San Francisco, and 45 miles south of Sacramento.

"We are excited about expanding our presence in Northern California to meet our customers' growing need for warehousing space, distribution and value added services," said Bill Butler, Weber's president and CEO. "We are dedicated to delivering the best possible logistics services and this new facility is a clear indication of our commitment to our customers."

Weber’s Stockton facility is using Zethcon's WMS, the leading provider of 3PL software, and the latest TMS to track the real-time movement of products and offer real time web visibility.
