Tacoma, Washington-based MRO distributor Stellar Industrial Supply announced Jan. 11 that it has opened a new warehouse and branch office in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey. The new facility is designed to support Viking Yacht Company, Stellar said in its announcement.

Stellar said the new warehouse will enable Viking to streamline supply chain and logistics and is strategically positioned between Stellar’s Northeast and Southeast branches to support them as needed. It also allows for expanded support for Stellar customers across the New Jersey and Pennsylvania areas, the company said.

With the warehouse and Egg Harbor branch opening, Stellar now has 17 regional hubs across the U.S.

“Recent world-wide supply chain and logistics issues have underscored the need for flexibility and innovative approaches by all stakeholders,” said Stellar President & CEO John Wiborg. “We are ecstatic that our partners like 3M and others are fully committed to creating real-world solutions such as this dedicated warehouse for Viking Yacht Company. This new model further demonstrates our commitment to each customer and their success.”
