SuperValu will enhance its logistics network in the eastern United States by consolidating distribution centers. The company will merge its Easton PA, Harrisburg PA, and Perryman MD operations into its Lancaster PA facility.

The company has identified the Lancaster distribution center as the newest location for automated technology. It plans to consolidate warehouse volume and incorporate automation technology into the seven-year-old, 1.4 million-square-foot Lancaster facility.

SuperValu expects the entire project will take about three years to complete. During this time, customers will be serviced from existing facilities while the Lancaster facility is modified. This modification will include system standardization and technology installation and testing.
