Medline Industries, Inc. to Create 150 Jobs, Invest $70 Million in Bryan County
Atlanta, GA Governor Brian P. Kemp today announced that Bryan County will be home to Georgia's newest Medline Industries, Inc. location in the state. Medline, the largest privately held manufacturer and distributor of medical supplies, will invest over $70 million to build a new distribution center in Richmond Hill that will create 150 new jobs with capacity for more than 600 workers as the company grows.
"We are excited that this innovative, family-owned company chose to expand their operations in Bryan County," said Governor Kemp. "Georgia's coast is an ideal location for companies like Medline who are looking for a readily available workforce as well as access to global markets through the Port of Savannah."
Headquartered in Northfield, Illinois, Medline is a healthcare company that manufactures and distributes more than 550,000 products with more than 26,000 employees worldwide. The company currently operates two facilities in Georgia. Its distribution center in McDonough and manufacturing plant in Lithia Springs together employ approximately 800 people.
"When we began looking for a new distribution center location near a deepwater port, the Port of Savannah and the Richmond Hill area quickly rose to the top of the list," said Bill Abington, Executive Vice President of Global Operations at Medline. "Georgia has been a welcoming state to grow our business and attract a best-in-class workforce. We are proud to continue our expansion in the Peach State and be even more connected to our customers in coastal Georgia."
The new one-million-square-foot facility will be built in Belfast Commerce Park, which is a Georgia Ready for Accelerated Development (GRAD) site. The expected completion date is 2021. Careers at the facility will primarily focus on supply chain support, warehouse operations including supervisors and managers and other branch administration.
