Henry Schein, which brands itself as the world’s largest provider of health care solutions to office-based dental and medical practitioners, opened an 811,000-square-foot Southwestern Distribution Center in Fort Worth, TX. The AllianceTexas development is 30% larger than the next biggest Henry Schein distribution center and provides a space for 255 “Team Schein” members.

The new center replaces the company’s 242,000-SF facility in Grapevine, TX. Over 95% of the Grapevine team relocated to Fort Worth. With sales reaching $12.3 billion in 2023, Henry Schein is No. 6 on MDM’s Pharmaceuticals & Healthcare Top Distributors List.

“Our new Southwestern Distribution Center is a testament to Team Schein’s dedication to innovation, reliability and customer service… Over the course of our more than 90-year history, we have frequently reinvented the organization to meet customer needs, embracing new technologies and advancements,” Henry Schein Chairman and CEO Stanley Bergman said in a July 10 news release. “Our Fort Worth distribution center illustrates our commitment to holding fast to our enduring values while remaining focused on our future. We are pleased to begin this new chapter of our supply chain history in the Fort Worth community.”
