PUMA brings in 3PL to maximise DC utilisation
Maersk is now managing three highly automated PUMA distribution centres across the US, helping the brand get products to wholesale customers, PUMA stores and online shoppers more quickly and efficiently.
BEYOND SUPPORTING PUMA’s business, the model enables Maersk to use available capacity in the network for other customers, helping improve asset utilisation and create additional value from PUMA’s existing infrastructure.
The three DCs are in California, Arizona, and Indiana and total about 2.3 million square feet. All are equipped with AutoStore technology.
The Torrance, California facility will become Maersk North America’s first AutoStore deployment supporting multi-client operations. Starting in 2027, Maersk will have capacity in the Torrance facility for other brands that need fast, automated order fulfillment near strategic air and ocean gateways as well as one of the largest consumer markets in the country. The site will be capable of handling roughly 20 million units of throughput each year.
