WESTERVILLE, OHIO January 8, 2018: DHL Supply Chain, the Americas' leader in contract logistics and part of Deutsche Post DHL Group, and Mills Fleet Farm, a retailer of lifestyle merchandise serving active, outdoor families and farm consumers, partnered together to design, construct and staff a new state-of-the-art distribution center in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. The 1,100,000-square-foot facility includes an integrated warehouse and transportation solution that will help Mills Fleet Farm optimize logistic services for its 37 stores located throughout Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and North Dakota by serving as the flagship facility.

DHL Supply Chain's Solutions Design team used proprietary inventory and operational modeling tools to design a facility for Mills Fleet Farm that provides an optimal balance of capital investment, operating expense, service levels and inventory levels. The facility is expected to begin operations in the first half of the year, bringing several hundred jobs to the area.

"This solution was an integrated and holistic effort that extended beyond our managed transportation solutions to include DHL Supply Chain's Solutions Design, warehouse and finance services," said Chris Bronski, Director of DHL Supply Chain's Managed Transportation Solutions. "Because of our expertise, resources and commitment to innovation, Mills Fleet Farm now has a solution that will deliver operational excellence and support future growth."

Mills Fleet Farm has a diversified offering of merchandise with over 120,000 stock keeping units (SKUs) across a broad range of product categories such as auto, home living, farm and pet, outdoor/sporting goods, apparel/footwear, candy/snacks, hardware and seasonal.

"We partnered with DHL Supply Chain to help support our retail growth," said Rich Tannenbaum, Senior Vice President of Mills Fleet Farm. "Their warehouse and transportation management services ensure that we continue to exceed our customers' expectations, and that our products are delivered on-time, every time. With DHL Supply Chain, we know we can meet our current and future needs with their customized solution that allows for scalable growth."
