Acme Paper Plans for New Richmond, Virginia Distribution Center
Company's Growth in Central Virginia Market Promotes Need for Larger Facility
(Richmond, VA) On April 1, 1946, Acme Paper & Supply Company began operating from a 1500 square foot garage in Baltimore, Maryland. On April 1, 2007, Acme Paper, one of the largest distributors of food service disposables, janitorial equipment and restaurant equipment & supplies in the Mid-Atlantic, opened the doors of its new 90,000 square foot facility at 2100 Jefferson Davis Highway in Richmond, Virginia.
Acme first expanded its business to Richmond, Virginia in 1991 to better serve its growing customer base in Virginia and North Carolina, then adding a distribution center at 815 Perry Street to its main headquarters in Savage, Maryland. The move to a larger facility was necessary because of the tremendous growth Acme has experienced in the Virginia market.
Acme Paper is comprised of six divisions: food service packaging, restaurant equipment & supplies, janitorial equipment & supplies, retail packaging, industrial packaging, and alpha products. Each division is unique and is constantly growing and expanding product lines, positioning Acme Paper as a resource for all packaging and supply needs. However, being able to carry and distribute over 15,000 products is only a part of the success story. A company has to also be able to provide the high quality level of service that customers have come to expect and deserve. This facility, having significantly more square footage (90,000 sq. ft.) than the Perry Street location, has 15 loading bays which will allow for even more efficient warehouse operations and increased customer satisfaction. Located at 2100 Jefferson Davis Highway, the new Acme building is easily accessible to major highways and thoroughfares.
"This market has been good for Acme Paper, says Acme Vice President, Ron Attman. We have always been committed to providing exceptional customer service and will be adding personnel to the Richmond team to fuel this expansion. This new facility will allow us to better support our clientele and maintain our position in the market as the leading regional distributor of paper and plastic packaging, janitorial supplies and restaurant equipment."
With over 200 employees servicing customers in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, the District of Columbia, Virginia, and North Carolina, along with national accounts, Acme looks forward to furthering its growth and position in the marketplace.
