MIQ Logistics moves to new B.C. distribution centre

TORONTO, Ont. — MIQ Logistics, formerly YRC Logistics, has relocated its Vancouver distribution centre into a new facility at 16131 Blundell Road in Richmond, B.C. The new facility significantly increases the available space for contract logistics operations and can support client supply chains throughout Canada, the company announced.

“In addition to more space, our new Vancouver site has the attributes which clients desire for keeping their supply chains nimble,” says John Carr, president and chief operating officer.

Carr says the building has 35 dock doors, while the facility will feature the latest in warehouse management and transportation management systems. Its location relative to major highways is designed to provide easy access to container terminals, the company said. 

The MIQ Logistics Vancouver distribution centre offers domestic Canadian distribution, local fleet delivery, national transportation management, cross-docking services, just-in-time manufacturing support, quality control verification, repackaging, and customized packaging.

The facility is built for energy efficiency, using T-5 lighting. It also offers the latest in integrated security and fire protection technologies, the company said.
