Symbotic (SYM) and Associated Wholesale Grocers said Tuesday that have agreed to deploy warehouse automation technology at AWG's Gulf Coast Division Support Center in Pearl River, Louisiana, to improve order accuracy, increase capacity and reduce product damage.
The site currently handles more than 22 million cases of dry grocery annually using manual processes, the companies said.
Once operational, the automated system is expected to manage nearly 19 million cases per year, they added.
Modifications of the facility are expected to begin in early 2027, with the system targeted to go live in Q4 of 2027, the companies said.
Symbotic shares were up more than 3% in premarket activity Tuesday.
