Ingram Content Group will expand its Roseburg, Ore. distribution center through the addition of a state-of-the-art, co-located printing facility. "This investment increases the number of titles the company has available from Roseburg by millions and reduces delivery times for customers west of the Rockies," the company said.
"As demand for our print, wholesale, and distribution services grows, extending our unique solution to our Roseburg facility allows us to serve our publishers and channel partners with greater efficiency, immediacy, and flexibility," said CEO Shawn Morin. "Through expanding our print on demand programs like print to order (PTO) and guaranteed availability (GAP), in Roseburg, we're strengthening our ability to more quickly connect western U.S. readers with the books they want."
Construction on the Roseburg expansion is set to begin immediately, with first book printings anticipated by the end of the third quarter. Once complete, the enhanced facility "will significantly increase the availability of millions of titles in this market, enabling faster delivery for retail and library customers," Ingram noted. "For publishers, the expansion provides a sustainable, integrated inventory solution that improves availability, reduces waste, and accelerates speed to market."
