Brightpoint completes purchase of Centre of Excellence in Nevada
Brightpoint has completed the purchase of a 264,000 sq.ft operational Centre of Excellence facility in Reno, Nevada. Focused on providing supply chain solutions to the wireless industry, Brightpoint previously announced its intent to purchase the Reno facility as part of a series of strategic real estate investments to expand and optimise its supply chain network in the US. Brightpoint is investing in additional facilities in response to the company’s planned growth and anticipated need for increased capacity. The addition of the Reno facility gives Brightpoint more than two million square feet of supply chain logistics and distribution services facilities in the US. Brightpoint will transition and expand certain operations to the new Reno facility, which will be operational in Q2 this year. The company handled approximately 99 million wireless devices globally. The addition of the new Reno facility will enable Brightpoint to meet expected demand, expand its portfolio of products and services, improve operating efficiencies through the elimination of capacity constraints, mitigate the risk of business interruption by providing geographically diverse operations, and provide an optimal supply chain network for freight management services.
