Stihl relocates to expanded Mid-Atlantic Stihl distribution and training facility

Stihl has expanded and relocated its Mid-Atlantic Stihl distribution and training facility.

Located in Orange County for 25 years, the new facility in Mebane, North Carolina is located about 10 miles away from their previous location. Stihl officials say the move represents a significant investment and will continue serving the 1,000 authorized local Stihl dealers across the states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and portions of Tennessee and West Virginia.  

The facility's 265,200 square feet of operational space, with 15,000 square feet allocated for office space and dealer training, significantly enhances operational efficiency. In addition, this expansion more than doubles the previous warehouse capacity and adds over three times the number of dock doors, streamlining shipping and order fulfillment processes. The increased warehouse space facilitates improved order staging and longer racking, optimizing order picking and product replenishment. These enhancements contribute to more accurate and timely deliveries to retailers. Additionally, the larger facility includes expanded classrooms and training areas to support product portfolio growth, including wheeled goods. 

"We are excited about Mid-Atlantic Stihl's expansion and the positive impact it will have on our order fulfillment capabilities,” says Charles Bailey, branch director of Mid-Atlantic Stihl. “This new facility not only bolsters our support for the local economy, but also enhances our ability to serve Stihl dealers more effectively, ensuring they can better meet their customers' needs."
