The second of four previously planned Walmart automated consolidation center will be opened in Lebanon, PA. during September. This will follow the first trial facility established in Colton, CA. in 2019.  The Pennsylvania facility will extend over 400,000 square feet and will service 42 regional distribution centers and ultimately a number of fulfillment centers.

Consolidation centers will receive general merchandise from suppliers in less than truckload quantities to be transferred to inventory. Items will be ‘harvested’ and consolidated into full truck-loads to be shipped to regional distribution centers.
