FRANKFORT, Ky. (October 8, 2026) — Arvato, a global provider of supply chain management and e-commerce logistics services, has celebrated the grand opening of a new distribution and fulfillment center in Louisville, Kentucky. The project is creating 150 jobs and expanding the company’s capacity to serve customers across North America.
The nearly 400,000-square-foot facility is Arvato’s seventh operation in the Louisville and greater Shepherdsville area. With the addition, the company’s total operational footprint in the region exceeds 4 million square feet.
