Ikea’s fourth customer distribution centre in Canada, expected to officially open Sept. 19, is in Kleinburg.

The new 550,000-square-foot customer distribution centre will help keep up with increased capacity for future growth, the company said.

“The Kleinburg Customer Distribution Centre will focus on last mile delivery directly to customers’ homes and will complement the retailer’s four stores and Mississauga Customer Distribution Centre in the Greater Toronto Area,” it said.

“Customers served by the new centre are expected to see shorter delivery lead times, which will support the retailer’s expanded service offering, including new lower pricing for parcel and truck delivery.”

The site is operated by DHL Supply Chain and the project has created approximately 120 jobs.

The retailer opened its first centre in the Vancouver area last year and also operates facilities in the Montreal and Toronto areas.
