Pennsylvania-based Radial Inc. has opened its 601,000-square-foot fulfillment center in Avon, the company announced Tuesday. In addition to the more than 100 jobs that will be added, the company has tapped China-based Geek+ to provide automation and robotics for the $20 million facility.
The facility, located at 8838 E County Rd 100 S in Avon, has nearly 200 autonomous mobile robots that Radial said will ensure seamless e-commerce fulfillment operations.
“With the new center and Geek+’s robots, we’re continuing to invest in e-commerce fulfillment, ensuring that retailers partnering with Radial can scale their operations in a cost-effective and efficient manner,” Esteban Gutierrez, Vice President of Fulfillment Operations at Radial, said in a news release. “We’re also proud to create new jobs in the local community of Avon, Indiana with the opening of this facility and provide individuals the opportunity to start a career in e-commerce.”
Radial did not immediately disclose its financial investment in the new facility.
The company is currently hiring for full-time positions, including outbound and inbound fulfillment associates, operations supervisors, and operations managers, among others.
The new fulfillment center is Radial’s second facility in central Indiana. The company opened a 700,000-square-foot facility in Brownsburg in 2019.
