The facility will distribute Alphatec’s high-volume, commercially launched products, expedite access to nearby distribution centers and facilitate surgical support, according to the company.
Alphatec’s newly renovated Carlsbad, Calif., headquarters will continue to operate as the company’s base for development and shipment of alpha release products.
“We must remain predictable and efficient as we rapidly grow, ” Alphatec CEO Pat Miles said in a news release. “This new distribution facility will not only enable us to better support surgeries with earlier deliveries and later shipping cutoffs, its central location will position us to more adeptly meet the expanding demand for [Alphatec] solutions nationwide.”
Alphatec said it plans to significantly ramp up operations in Memphis.
The Memphis facility is expected to be up and running in July.
