Cardinal Health announced that construction has begun for a new 350,000 square-foot logistics center in Columbus, Ohio, that will serve as a centralized replenishment center for the distribution of over-the-counter consumer health products in support of its core pharmaceutical business. Located in the Rickenbacker Global Logistics Park, the Consumer Health Logistics Center will be the fourth Cardinal Health distribution facility in Central Ohio, along with its corporate headquarters in Dublin, Ohio. Scheduled to be fully operational by Summer 2025, the facility will create approximately 100 new jobs in Ohio.

The implementation of advanced inventory management systems in the Consumer Health Logistics center will continue to improve supply chain resiliency, offering customers a broader range of product options.
