Monoprice, the leading provider of high-quality and affordably priced consumer electronics and accessories, is opening a new distribution center on September 1st in Hebron, Kentucky. The 165,400-square-foot warehouse will allow Monoprice to store almost four times the number of products than their previous Kentucky distribution center, ship 70% of Monoprice’s total direct-to-consumer volume, and reduce shipping costs annually by $900,000.
The new distribution center will house over 8,000 of the most in-demand products sold on the company’s website. The company offers affordable electronics and accessories to professionals and consumers nationwide with products ranging from electronic cables, pro audio and home theater equipment, networking and IT gear, 3D printers, mobile solutions and other technology gear. Their customer-first business model eliminates layers of markup within the supply chain, allowing Monoprice to sell premium products at a fraction of the marketplace price with incomparable speed and service.
