Cardinal Taps Sugar Land Contractor to Build $6.5 Million Pharmaceutical Distribution Center in Fort Bend County, Texas

---

Researched by Industrialinfo.com (Industrial Information Resources, Incorporated; Houston, Texas). Site prep has begun for Cardinal Health’s (NYSE:CAH)(Dublin, Ohio) $6.5 million project to build a new pharmaceutical distribution center in the city of Stafford, Texas, in Fort Bend County. Cardinal develops, manufactures, packages, and markets a variety of health care products. The company also develops drug-delivery technologies and distributes pharmaceuticals, medical-surgical, and laboratory supplies.

As reported by Industrialinfo.com in the Pharmaceutical Tracker - Online Database, Rosenberger Construction of Sugar Land, Texas, is serving as the construction manager for the project, which features a 100,000 square foot building. Ninety percent of the facility will be used as a warehouse, while the remainder will be used for administration. Cardinal expects to eventually employ at least 80 people at the site when it opens in 2006.

While this is Cardinal’s first venture into Fort Bend County, the company previously had a 75,000 square foot hospital supplies distribution center in the Woodlands, which they sold last year. The Fort Bend Economic Development Council worked closely with Cardinal to ease the permit process for the new project. Fort Bend County has been in the top 20 counties in the United States for economic excellence and population growth for the past fifteen years.
