Aeroflow Announces Significant Investment in Western North Carolina with Purchase of New Building
Asheville, NC (PRWEB) October 05, 2017
Aeroflow Healthcare, a leading provider of durable medical equipment and one of Inc. Magazine’s 5000 Fastest Growing Companies, today announced the purchase of a new building and fulfillment facility in Asheville, NC. The expansion reinforces Aeroflow’s commitment to the Asheville community and is also a reflection of their continued growth and increased productivity.
As Aeroflow experienced record growth through sales of high quality, durable medical equipment on its robust online platform, a new fulfillment center allows the company to continue expanding to better serve its customers around the country while remaining committed to its hometown and the residents of Asheville. This growth is evident by the company’s inclusion on the Inc. 5000 list for the third consecutive year with an annual sales growth rate of 146 percent.
The new 35,000 square foot facility will consolidate product inventories currently housed in two separate Asheville locations to a single, centralized distribution center, allowing for increased efficiency and improved rates of delivery to Aeroflow customers. Aeroflow will employ about 30 procurement, distribution and clinical services employees within the fulfillment facility when it opens in fall of 2017, with plans to add about 50 employees by the end of 2018. Aeroflow will also expand its corporate, call center and administration teams.
“Not only does this acquisition allow Aeroflow growth potential on all aspects of our business – from sales to fulfillment – but also enables us to reiterate our commitment to the Asheville area, and to better serve our customers around the country,” said Vaughn Williams, Director of Business Operations at Aeroflow Healthcare. “Regardless of how quickly – or where – we grow, our goal always remains to be there for our patients no matter what. This move will help us do that.”
At the new site, Aeroflow aims to create a space that illustrates its dedication to the Asheville community and allows not only for continued growth, but for productive and collaborative work. This sentiment begins by creating and maintaining an environment designed to foster employee engagement. The company plans to introduce more conference rooms, communal meetings spaces and natural daylight, as well as revamped and higher capacity restrooms.
“Our goal is to create an environment where our employees can be at their best,” says Katie Combs, Aeroflow Chief Culture Officer, “Whether it’s working collaboratively with a team, or digging in and finishing a project solo, we are working to create spaces that are as unique as each of our employees.”
The new facility is located at 65 Beale Rd, Arden, NC less than four miles from Aeroflow’s national headquarters at 3165 Sweeten Creek Rd., Asheville, NC.
