Uline expands Wisconsin workforce, footprint over next several years
MILWAUKEE - Uline, a distributor of shipping, industrial and packaging materials, announced on Monday, June 5 that it is expanding in southeast Wisconsin with plans to add more than 200 employees and a combined 4.5 million square feet of new development over the next several years.
This expansion will bring Uline to 14.5 million square feet of industrial and office space in Kenosha County. The company currently occupies over 10 million square feet.
Uline has begun development on the first of four proposed buildings on 350 acres of land purchased in late 2022. The 1.4 million-square-foot state-of-the-art distribution center will be the largest warehouse in the Uline network. These four facilities will ensure Uline maintains a robust supply chain to support its continued growth and future expansion.
Construction is also underway at Uline’s newest facility in Bristol, where the company is leasing a 1 million-square-foot warehouse that will allow us to support growing customer needs. The facility, located at 10322 140 Avenue, is set to open in October 2023.
