General Tobacco selects new headquarters location
In May, Miami-based General Tobacco announced that it had completed negotiations on the construction of a new 300,000-square-foot facility that will serve as the company's new headquarters. The facility will allow General Tobacco to consolidate its warehousing needs and provide room for manufacturing some of its product in the United States. The facility, located in the Flagler Station Development area in northwest Miami-Dade County, Fla., will take 14 months to complete.
The new facility will include a bonded warehouse and will serve as a master receiving and distribution center. General Tobacco will also open distribution centers in California, Kentucky and New Jersey.
"By adding regional distribution centers on the East and West Coast, and one in the center of the country, General Tobacco can speed up delivery time to better serve its regional customers and provide steady supply to the market," said Vidal Suriel, the owner and founder of General Tobacco.
