SUNPAN Celebrates Opening of New Warehouse in Houston, Texas

SUNPAN’s state-of-the-art facility will provide its American customers with greater access to inventory, faster shipping, and the option to pick up orders.  

Toronto, Canada, [January 3, 2024] – SUNPAN is pleased to announce the opening of its new 200,000 square foot warehouse located in the Greater Houston Area of Baytown, Texas. A ribbon cutting ceremony marked the opening of SUNPAN’s first permanent warehouse in the United States. This notable expansion is a testament to SUNPAN’s ongoing commitment to enhance the customer experience and streamline its distribution network across North America.  

“As our customer base in the U.S. continues to grow rapidly, this new warehouse will play a critical role in our efforts to meet these increasing demands,” said Sundeep Bagga, President and CEO of SUNPAN. “We’re excited about the new opportunities this will bring for our business, and our ability to better service our customers.” 
 

The new warehouse will more than double SUNPAN’s total warehousing footprint between Toronto and Houston, providing customers with greater access to inventory. Customers based in the United States now have the option to order products from both the Toronto and Houston warehouses, based on inventory availability. Closer warehouse proximity results in faster fulfilment to parts of the United States. Pickup from the Houston facility will now also be offered to American customers.   

Concurrent with the launch, SUNPAN has unveiled an innovative online ordering system. This new digital integration allows American customers to access live inventory and order from both the Toronto and Houston warehouses on the company’s U.S. website. Additionally, American customers can also request to pick up their orders from the Houston warehouse. This enhancement gives SUNPAN’s clients the ability to take advantage of a broader selection of products, while conveniently managing orders based on their business needs.  

SUNPAN will employ around 50 people at the distribution facility and has already hired 80% of its workforce. “I’m excited SUNPAN is bringing its global brand to the City of Baytown, creating more jobs in a robust local economy,” said Brandon Capetillo, Mayor of Baytown. “Baytown is already known for its footprint on the global economy and adding SUNPAN only increases our visibility as more top companies look to call our community home.”
