Cardinal Health plans new Indianapolis distribution center

Cardinal Health (NYSE: CAH) announced plans for a new pharmaceutical distribution center in Indianapolis, Indiana, according to a company press release. The 230,000-square-foot facility is expected to be fully operational by fall 2027 and will create more than 100 new jobs in Indiana.

The forward distribution center will feature what the company describes as an industry-first robotic storage and retrieval system, developed in partnership with Swisslog, a warehouse automation provider. The facility will include automation technology designed to provide real-time inventory visibility and manage material flow from receiving to shipping.

"We're continuing to make strategic investments in our core distribution network to drive service, enhance efficiency and meet the evolving needs of our customers with even greater reliability and responsiveness," said Debbie Weitzman, CEO of Pharmaceutical & Specialty Solutions.

Cardinal Health distributes more than 70,000 pharmaceutical and specialty deliveries daily across the United States. The Indianapolis facility represents the second pharmaceutical distribution center the company has announced since 2024.

Jamie Barker, SVP of Pharmaceutical & Specialty Supply Chain Operations, stated that the facility "marks the next major step in our multi-year strategy to drive productivity, improve customer service and enhance employee safety and well-being."

The company operates as a distributor of pharmaceuticals and specialty products, supplier of home-health products, operator of nuclear pharmacies, and manufacturer of medical and laboratory products. Indiana continues to serve as a strategic transit hub for Cardinal Health's operations.
