Sweetwater, the world’s leading music instrument and pro audio gear eCommerce provider, is opening a new facility in Glendale to add to the growing roster of industrial partners on the city’s west side.
The facility marks Sweetwater’s first distribution center outside of its headquarters in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
The 350,000-square foot building, located at 16801 W. Glendale Avenue, will serve as a fulfillment center for the tens of thousands of products and accessories sold by Sweetwater, including pro audio gear like microphones, speakers, mixers, and amplifiers as well as drums, guitars, and band and orchestra instruments.
“Those who live in the western part of the country often have to wait several days for their orders to arrive from our facility in Indiana. This will change that dramatically,” President & CEO John Hopkins shared in a statement.
Sweetwater will begin hiring to fill as many as 165 positions, including shift supervisors, pickers, packers, and machine operators, in August. The fulfillment center should be operational by October.
