INNOVATIVE FULFILLMENT SOLUTIONS MOVES TO BELGIAN BOTTOMS IFS celebrates its tenth anniversary with big move to accommodate growth. Kansas City, Missouri (March 24, 2008) -- Innovative Fulfillment Solutions (IFS) is celebrating its tenth year in business by moving to a new, expanded location. The full-service fulfillment operation is in the process of relocating its complete facility, including a call center operation, to the new Belgian Bottoms area - 4346 Belgium Boulevard, Kansas City, MO 64150-1704 - on Missouri Highway 9 just west of Interstate Highway 635. IFS will be only the second tenant in the new industrial park, which is slated to be one of the largest commercial developments in the Kansas City metro area. The Belgian Bottoms is part of the new Horizon District, which is expecting rapid growth thanks to the establishment of the Free Trade Zone in Kansas City and the ever-increasing level of import shipments that travel from the West Coast to Kansas City and points beyond. The full-service fulfillment operation - which opened its doors 10 years ago - serves a wide variety of both U.S. and international clients in a variety of industries. IFS President Keith Milburn explained, “One of the key factors in our decision to move is a new client with a substantial daily shipment demand,” added Milburn. “We could not have accommodated that particular client or our expected growth at our old facility. Plus, our new facility offers us far greater efficiency and flexibility.” IFS has built a reputation as a key player in the Nutraceutical industry, which is comprised of non-prescription pharmaceuticals. The Nutraceutical industry has boomed in recent years and IFS has emerged as one of the leading companies to specialize in fulfillment for that industry. “We've witnessed the growth of vitamins and supplements, which has become a $20-plus billion industry today.” said Milburn. “Our Nutraceutical clients - who are marketers of vitamins and supplements - rely on the operators in our ‘high touch’ call center to understand their products and to help their customers make smart buying decisions. Plus, they know that our knowledge of the industry and its regulations will ensure their products are managed properly for compliance issues.” Innovative Fulfillment Solutions is a comprehensive, integrated fulfillment service that meets its clients' needs by helping them run their companies more efficiently and more cost-effectively. IFS helps companies manage the critically important “back end” operational issues that can be so challenging to growing businesses. With its location in the heart of the United States, choosing IFS means faster order deliveries and big savings on shipping costs. |
