Napa, CA, September 14, 2022 – Copper Peak Logistics (CPL), a direct-to-consumer wine fulfillment, distribution and logistics services company, has broken ground on a new fulfillment center in Napa, California.
CPL plans to complete its move to the new cross-dock facility by summer 2023. The fulfillment center will be located off Devlin Road near Route 221 and Hwy 12/29, north of the airport and directly above the industrial corridor.
“We were very fortunate to find this new opportunity,” says Milton Cornwell, COO/Co-founder of CPL. “We were able to custom design the facility to our specifications from day one, which will lead to operating efficiencies and enhancements that we’re extremely excited about.”
Currently, CPL operates in an 80,000-square-foot facility in American Canyon. While the new fulfillment center is only several miles away from CPL’s current location, it will provide improved access for clients in Sonoma Valley and Napa Valley.
The project will be managed by Scannell Properties, the real estate development and investment company specializing in large industrial and logistics projects. ARCO National Construction Company, Inc., the 7th largest design-build contractor in the United States, will handle construction.
The build-to-suit facility will allow CPL to continue pursuing a controlled, methodical growth strategy. As the anchor tenant of the 250,650 square-foot facility, CPL will occupy 150,000 square feet, which is optimized as a cross-docking fulfillment center with 28-foot clear ceiling heights. The layout is designed to maximize cubic space for enhanced storage efficiency and will triple CPL’s current capacity.
In line with CPL’s long-term commitment to sustainability, the building will be outfitted with solar panels and energy-efficient air conditioning and night cooling packages for storage spaces.
“Copper Peak is already the leader in providing white-glove service for the direct-to-consumer wine market,” Cornwell says. “The additional space will allow us to enhance our craftsmanship fulfillment services and to continue developing additional custom solutions. Needless to say, we’re looking forward to the move.”
“With that said, our goal is always to perpetuate our mission and maintain our place in the market. We’ve never focused on rapid expansion for the sake of expansion, and that’s one of the primary reasons for our success.”
The Napa fulfillment center is CPL’s second recent major expansion. In Fall 2020, the company expanded to its 55,000 square-foot St. Louis facility, quadrupling its size and capabilities there.
