The facility also includes all Mizuno golf club manufacturing for the North American market.
"Mizuno is making moves to fast-track growth and further strengthen the brand as a frontrunner in the US sporting goods market," said Bob Puccini, director of Mizuno Corp.
"This is an important milestone that will provide us the business flexibility needed to meet the evolving demands of today's omni-channel, consumer-driven marketplace."
The facility features two miles of conveyance, a high-speed merge sorter, zone route technology supported by camera-based scanning technology, three storey velocity pick module, and a two-storey flexible dense picking area.
Enhanced efficiencies include consolidation of distribution logistics and a technology-enabled pick, pack and ship process.
"Decisions of this magnitude are not made lightly. This multi-million dollar IT and distribution infrastructure investment will play a major role in our continued growth," said Josh Creasman, vice-president of supply chain. "It was a comprehensive process to find our distribution and manufacturing home for the next decade.”
