Spyder Repurposes Boulder Distribution Center, Consolidates Spyder Distribution With Newly Acquired Cloudveil
Boulder, CO - March 13, 2008
Performance outerwear leader Spyder Active Sports, Inc, is closing one distribution center and repurposing its second facility for limited usage after three decades of warehousing and order fulfillment out of Boulder, Colorado.
Spyder recently purchased Cloudveil Mountain Works, producers of innovative technical outdoor and mountaineering apparel. As a part of the integration of this acquisition, Spyder is consolidating its distribution with Cloudveil's current outsourced distribution provider located in Baltimore, Maryland. With this move, the company is better positioned to manage growth and improve performance throughout the supply chain.
"This consolidation allows us to realize both cost and operational synergies", said Alan Leslie, director of global logistics."It also provides us with an opportunity to improve our distribution capabilities by working through a highly sophisticated distribution facility."
The Frontier space, in use since 2001, will be vacated while space at the Walnut Street facility will be reconfigured to manage warranty and repair, sample, showroom, uniform, corporate storage and retail presentation programs.
