GBS to Break Ground on Warehouse Expansion | GBS: America’s Productivity Partner

North Canton, OH, June 6, 2024—GBS, a leading national information solutions provider headquartered in North Canton, Ohio, is pleased to announce its plans to break ground on the major expansion of its GBS/DLXDeals warehouse located in Jackson Township. The company will host an official groundbreaking ceremony on June 19 at the GBS, 7233 Freedom Avenue address, alongside a special “ground-breakfasting” event for employees and invited guests.

As a major commitment to its business, clients and employees, GBS considers its warehouse expansion project to be the newest exciting phase of the organization’s ongoing growth. The 29,258 square-foot addition is a continuation of their commitment to operate and grow in Jackson Township; it also represents a major investment in their rapidly growing distribution, storage and third-party logistics (3PL) service capabilities. This project will also create new job opportunities within their founding city of North Canton.

After a few years of outsourcing additional space needs, GBS will be able to bring distribution for its GBS BrandConnect and DLXDeals business units in-house, with a significant capacity increase that will benefit virtually every GBS vertical. The new state-of-the-art facility will feature maximum racking, cutting-edge equipment and enhanced warehouse management technology, allowing GBS to keep pace with rising demand from their own businesses and the expanding needs from their client base.

With initial discussions only beginning early this year, GBS partnered with economic development groups at the local, regional and state level for support and speed of execution. Additionally, Fogg Building Methods, a long-standing contractor with experience in building warehouse/logistics projects throughout northeast Ohio, is helping GBS remain on schedule for completion and occupancy before the end of the year.

Ultimately, GBS envisions this expansion of its warehouse as yet another example of how its Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) structure creates opportunities for GBS employee-owners to share in the company’s continued success.

Paul Horning, GBS Vice President of Strategic Planning, sees the expansion a key investment in the organization’s collective future. “As this new resource drives further expansion of our 3PL/distribution lines, we are confident it will serve as a building block in creating a competitive edge as we pursue new clients and business down the road,” he notes.
