The 408,560 sq.ft. Distribution Center, situated on 42 acres, is one of the largest distribution centers in New Hampshire. The central warehouse consists of 330,840 sq.ft. of high-bay pallet rack storage, 63,520 sq.ft. of parts storage and 26 loading docks for shipping and receiving. In addition to the warehouse facilities the building is also home to 14,200 sq.ft. of office space.

On July 27, 2004 F.W. Webb officially opened our brand new Central Distribution Warehouse in Amherst, NH with a ribbon cutting ceremony attended by members of the Pro Con Construction design/build team, F.W. Webb employees and local dignitaries including New Hampshire's governor, the Honorable Craig R. Benson.

The state-of-the-art distribution center is "paperless", utilizing barcoding for all shipping and receiving transactions. Purchasing is done using electronic data interchange (EDI) with most vendors, the computer-to-computer exchange of business data, allowing a "hands-off" computer transaction that requires no human intervention.
