3PL provider Kenco Logistic Services LLC has been awarded management of a 1.6 million square foot Whirlpool Distribution Center in Columbus, Ohio.

Kenco will take over management of the existing facility, located less than a mile from the new one, on September 1 and then manage the transition into the new building. The distribution centre is scheduled to open October 1.

Greg Boring, Director of Operations, Kenco Logistic Services, said: “As we assume the management of this state-of-the art facility, we fully expect to employ most of the current 180 full-time employees and 60 temporary workers.

"Their skill, dedication and understanding of Whirlpool’s operational needs will allow a seamless transition from the previous management company to Kenco Logistic Services.”

Kenco has been a provider to Whirlpool since 1979 and manages around 5,00,000 square feet for the appliance manufacturer.
