MiTek’s new distribution facility in Plainfield, Indiana, is now fully operational. Offering distribution to a 500-mile radius, the new facility will provide same-day or next-day delivery for a wide range of products, including USP Structural Connectors, USP Epoxy and fasteners, and MiTek truss connector plates.
Offering almost 53,000 square feet of space, MiTek’s new distribution facility will also provide customers with “will call” delivery. Additionally, the facility provides nearly 6,500 square feet of office space where MiTek will provide customer training and support.
The new MiTek distribution facility features 15 dock doors, one oversized drive-in door, and expansive staging bays. Excellent access to key transportation routes is available, including Indianapolis International Airport, I-70, I-455, SR 37, SR 67, and nearby downtown Indianapolis.
“MiTek’s new Plainfield, IN facility will allow rapid delivery – often same-day service – to an expansive 500-mile radius from our new location,” said Todd Asche, Senior Vice President of Operations. “With our recent Houston distribution facility coming fully online and our new Indianapolis facility fully operational, we have made great strides in expanding the reach for MiTek and the products offered by our MiTek Builder Products division.”
