It was a celebration of both the present and the past at Niterra’s location in West Virginia. The company officially opened its new distribution center last month at its Sissonville site. The opening coincides with the company’s 30th anniversary of manufacturing in the Mountaineer State. The new facility includes an automated sorting machine that takes parts from Niterra’s inventory and sends those parts to associates to be boxed up and shipped, which helps streamline the distribution process and improve efficiency. The opening of the distribution center created 30 new jobs. These positions add to the 500 full-time employees already on staff at the Sissonville location.
