About the facility

More than a warehouse.

Located on a 9.17 acre site just north of the Tacoma Narrows bridge, our Gig Harbor branch is a hybrid facility, part regional retail store, part fully automated distribution and fulfillment center, and the operational backbone of every order we ship.

Every part on every shelf at every branch passes through here first.

Built on the former site of the Gig Harbor Athletic Club and opened in 2021, this 90,000+ square foot facility was designed from the ground up to support our growing footprint across Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana, with Utah on the way in 2027, with throughput, accuracy, and speed engineered in.

Inside the operation

Built for throughput, accuracy, and scale.

Every square foot is designed to support our customers and our branch network, from same-day order fulfillment to long-term inventory depth.

01
Fully Automated
Powered by Dematic North America's automation system, with goods-to-person picking that brings inventory directly to the operator instead of the other way around.
02
Hybrid Retail + Distribution
5,000 square foot retail store on-site, so Gig Harbor customers can walk in and grab parts the same way customers do at every other Tacoma Screw branch.
03
Regional Fulfillment Hub
Centralized inventory keeps our 21 branch locations stocked, so the part you need at your local branch usually started its day on a shelf in Gig Harbor.
04
Built for Accuracy
Automated pick-and-pack workflows reduce manual handling, which means fewer errors, faster turnarounds, and more accurate orders out the door.
05
Same-Day Order Processing
Orders placed in the morning are picked, packed, and ready to ship the same day, supporting our network's promise of dependable supply.
06
Designed to Scale
The facility was built with our four-state footprint and Utah expansion in mind, with capacity to support our continued growth across the West.

The technology

Powered by Dematic.

Our automation system was designed and built by Dematic North America, one of the world's leading providers of warehouse automation. The system uses goods-to-person picking technology that brings inventory directly to operators at high-volume workstations, dramatically reducing pick time and walking distance compared to traditional warehouses.

The result is a facility that processes orders faster, ships them more accurately, and supports a level of service we couldn't deliver from a manually-operated warehouse, no matter how big.

The build team

Built by local hands.

The Gig Harbor distribution center was designed and built by a team of Pacific Northwest professionals, completed and operational in 2021.
