Approximately 300 Team Schein Members, supplier partners, customers, elected officials, and Company leaders attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate this significant milestone, which reinforces Henry Schein’s commitment to enhancing supply chain efficiency and customer service.

Located at 3701 Litsey Road in the AllianceTexas development, the new distribution center is 30 percent larger than the next biggest Henry Schein distribution center, and home to 255 Team Schein Members. The facility provides Team Schein with an even more efficient workspace to ensure health care professionals receive the products needed to deliver the best quality patient care.

“Our new Southwestern Distribution Center is a testament to Team Schein’s dedication to innovation, reliability, and customer service,” said Stanley M. Bergman, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Henry Schein. “Over the course of our more than 90-year history, we have frequently reinvented the organization to meet customer needs, embracing new technologies and advancements. Our Fort Worth distribution center illustrates our commitment to holding fast to our enduring values while remaining focused on our future. We are pleased to begin this new chapter of our supply chain history in the Fort Worth community.”

Henry Schein has served its customers across the Southwest region for more than 20 years through its Grapevine, Texas, distribution center. The Company opened the doors of its 242K square foot Grapevine facility in 1998 with 66 Team Schein Members. During that time, the Company experienced tremendous growth, leading to the decision to find a larger space. More than 95 percent of Henry Schein’s Grapevine team relocated to the new facility in Fort Worth.
