Neways to Break Ground for New State-of-the-Art Warehouse

SPRINGVILLE, UT (April 23, 2008)-In response to accelerating worldwide growth, Neways International announced that it will open a new state-of-the-art warehouse directly behind the company's iconic corporate headquarters in Springville.

While the warehouse's outer shell has existed for several years, the company's executive management team recently decided to finish the facility's technologically advanced interior. To commence this final phase of construction, a groundbreaking ceremony will be held at the facility on May 30.

"This massive new building will allow us to consolidate several operations into one location," says Neways COO Brian Slobodow. "We'll use this warehouse to do all our bulk shipping to Neways locations worldwide, as well as individual product orders to our distributors. We'll also use it to assemble product kits and other promotional items."

In addition to warehouse and shipping functions, the new facility will feature a retail-style showroom with interactive product displays and kiosks. "Our distributors will love learning more about our products in this dynamic setting," says senior VP of sales and marketing Scott Moberly. "They'll be able to order and receive products right there onsite."

The 305,000-square-foot facility features laser-leveled cement floors that will allow high-speed wire-guided turret trucks to move efficiently among the storage racks, which will rise 28 feet tall with five levels and room for 10,000 pallets. Replacing the current warehouse facility located in Spanish Fork, the new warehouse will ship over 100 ocean-going containers around the world each month, in addition to thousands of individual packages on a daily basis.
