Third-party logistics (3PL) provider, Weber Logistics, today announced that, starting January, 2025, it will operate a new 137,000-square-foot distribution center (DC) in Irvine, CA for one of its key clients, a leading ramen noodles brand. The new Irvine facility, which Weber is leasing exclusively to service this client, is one of four distribution operations Weber runs for the food brand in California.
Finished goods will be shuttled from the brand's regional manufacturing center to the new DC, where Weber's team will manage inventory and process retail orders shipping to points throughout North America.
"In a market where households value fast, convenient and affordable meals, the ramen noodles category has seen tremendous growth," says Weber CEO, Bob Lilja. "We're proud to be a long-time logistics partner for one of the category's top brands, providing a scalable distribution solution to help fuel their growth."
Like many of Weber's 15 other distribution centers across California, the new facility is certified food-grade. Weber has a strategic focus on the food and beverage sector and distributes both dry food goods and perishable products, like candy, that require temperature-controlled storage and final delivery.
