Berlin Packaging Expands Florida Footprint With New 40,000-Square-Foot Warehouse In Miramar

Will Maintain Inventory of Packaging Containers and Closures for Just-in-Time Delivery to Florida Customers

Chicago, IL?/PRNewswire/ -?Berlin Packaging, a full-service supplier of plastic, glass and metal containers and closures with more than 90 locations throughout?North America, is opening a 40,000-square-foot warehouse in?Miramar, FL, to accommodate rapid business growth in the?South Florida?market. The facility will house customers' packaging components for just-in-time delivery and enable same-day shipping to virtually the entire state of?Florida.

The warehouse is located at 9698 Premier Parkway in the Miramar Park of Commerce, developed by Sunbeam Properties & Development. It is adjacent to the?Florida?turnpike in a new state-of-the-art building that features high ceilings and large bays to optimize space utilization. The leasing agent is?Jones Lang LaSalle?.

Berlin Packaging will begin using the new space in May, be fully operational this summer when the buildout is complete, and continue to use existing third-party warehouses in?Orlando,?Miami?and?Jacksonville?when needed for proximity to customers' fillers or own facilities. The company is also opening a new office in?Miami, joining its?Florida?headquarters in?Bradenton?and sales offices across?Florida?established over the firm's 20 years of business in the state.

"Our sales in?Florida?have surged tremendously in the last year, in part because of an aggressive sales and marketing campaign focusing on services such as package design, global sourcing, capital lending at below-market rates, and consulting that we offer free of charge in exchange for new packaging business. That growth prompted us to look for more warehouse space that we can staff with our own personnel," said?Darrin Dingman?,?Florida?District Manager, Berlin Packaging. "This new facility will allow us to provide more same-day shipping as well as accommodate continued expansion of our?Floridacustomer base."

With nearly?$800 million?in annual revenues and locations in more than 30 states, Berlin Packaging supplies more than 3.5 billion containers and closures annually as well as labeling, filling, and sourcing services to companies of all sizes and industry sectors including food and beverage, personal care, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical, automotive, household care and industrial chemical.

Customers have the option to have finished containers and closures drop-shipped directly from the factory to their preferred destinations, or housed at warehouses like the new?Miramar?facility for release on an as-needed basis under the company's inventory management program. The majority of Berlin Packaging's customers take advantage of inventory programs ? now with 105 consecutive months of?99%-plus on-time product delivery?? to avoid the costs of packaging stockouts, ensure their ability to fill orders, reduce in-house storage requirements, improve cash flow, and keep their supply chains running smoothly.
