Arvato is expanding its US presence with a 400,000sq ft (37,000sq m) logistics facility in the greater Louisville, Kentucky area. The German-owned logistics specialist already operates five locations in the region with more than 1,000 employees.
Opening of the new center is planned for the first quarter of 2026, and forms part of Arvato’s expansion strategy in the US, which included its acquisition of 3PL fashion provider Carbel at the beginning of the year.
The new facility is designed as a smart logistics hub, integrating advanced technologies such as automated warehouse systems and robotics. It is located near Louisville International Airport and will serve B2B and B2C clients in tech, consumer products, and healthcare industry.
Site preparation is already underway, with operations expected to begin in the first quarter of 2026. The location also offers the opportunity to acquire adjacent buildings, enabling a future expansion of the campus to over a million sq ft.
