Israel—Republic Floor recently opened up its new distribution center here. With 50,000 square feet currently and the capacity to store up to 100,000 square feet, the new-state-of-the art distribution center is said to be the largest flooring distributor in Israel with the highest logistics capabilities.
With a direct owned distribution center in the middle east, the company continues to expand its distribution prowess.
In the U.S. Republic has consolidated its Southern California operations into a 100,000-square-foot warehouse that previously served as Armstrong’s primary warehouse on the West Coast. The building will also contain a showroom and serve as Republic’s main headquarters with 40-50 employees based here. This is in addition to Republic’s 250,000-square-foot space in Northern California, which is currently being expanded to 500,000 square feet.
Republic is also opening a warehouse in Miami, which will service the entire East Coast. But soon it will be opening another East Coast location further north to service the mid-Atlantic and Northeast. Earlier this year, the company noted plans to double the size of some existing distribution centers. The move in Israel helps realize that goal.
