Food Ingredients Maker Relocates Warehouse to New Facility in Gardena

Puratos U.S., a leading bakery and sweet goods ingredient company, is expanding its West Coast operations with two key investments in the Los Angeles region. They include the installation of a new manufacturing line at its Rancho Dominguez facility and planned relocation to a warehouse/distribution facility located five miles away in Gardena.

To optimize its logistics network and better serve customers in the region, the company is relocating its warehousing/distribution from Rancho Cucamonga. The transition will be completed by the fall.

In addition to modern infrastructure, the 86,000-square-foot facility features environmentally friendly features, including LED lighting, an ESFR sprinkler system and on-site electrical charging for vehicles, waste reduction initiatives and responsible packaging practices.

Located within South Bay's transportation corridors, the new location offers easy access to area freeways, airports and ports, providing greater accessibility and faster response times for Puratos’ bakery and sweet goods clientele, the company said.
