Under Armour opened the doors to its new one million square foot distribution and warehouse facility in outside of Nashville in Mount Juliet, Tenn. With the establishment of the Nashville Distribution House, Under Armour will invest over $100 million and will create 1,500 new jobs in the area over the next five years, says the company.
This is Under Armour’s third distribution facility in the United States, joining the company’s original warehouse in the Baltimore metropolitan area and another located in Rialto, Calif. The facility features an onsite Under Armour Fitness Center for employees, state-of-the-art equipment including a 12+ mile conveyor system, automated receiving technology, voice-directed-picking software and advanced sortation methods. Under Armour also operates two Under Armour Factory House retail destinations in Tennessee, located in Nashville and Sevierville.
“We’re excited to open the Nashville Distribution House, which provides us with a great opportunity to grow our U.S.-based team and better service our rapidly expanding customer base,” said Jim Hardy, EVP, Global Operations at Under Armour.
Under Armour plans to have nearly 300 employees based at the Mt. Juliet facility by the end of 2015. For more information and current job openings, please visit www.underarmour.jobs.
