Warehouse space is only useful if it works for the way your business operates.
Inventory changes. Order volumes fluctuate. Products that need pallet storage today may require a different configuration tomorrow. As your business grows, the warehouse supporting it needs to be able to change with you.
That’s why C&O Warehousing has never viewed our facility as simply square footage.
Our approximately 100,000-square-foot warehouse facility in Durham, North Carolina, supports general warehousing, e-commerce fulfillment, contract operations, inventory management, and distribution from one strategically located facility. With multiple storage configurations and space that can be adapted around changing customer requirements, we provide warehouse storage solutions designed to support businesses today without limiting where they can go next.
Organized. Multifunctional. Convenient.
That’s what we want our facility to be for every customer who trusts us with their inventory.
Walk into C&O for the first time, and the size of the operation can be surprising.
Nearly 100,000 square feet can hold a lot of inventory.
The important part is knowing exactly where everything is.
Our Durham warehouse supports a variety of storage and operational requirements, including pallet racking, open-floor and bulk storage, climate-controlled areas, ecommerce fulfillment, receiving, staging, and distribution.
But no two customers use that space exactly the same way.
Some need hundreds of pallets stored for an ongoing program. Others need more space during certain times of the year. Ecommerce customers may need an entirely different setup, with shelving and picking areas designed to move individual orders instead of full pallets.
That’s why flexibility matters. We can configure the warehouse around different inventory and fulfillment needs, then adjust that space as those needs evolve.
A growing business rarely needs the exact same warehouse solution year after year.
That’s why much of C&O’s facility is designed to be reconfigured.
Racking can be rearranged. Floor storage can be converted into additional racking. Areas supporting one type of operation can be adjusted as inventory volumes and fulfillment requirements change.
In some cases, entire areas of the warehouse can be reconfigured within only a few days.
That flexibility allows us to make better use of our existing footprint while providing warehouse storage services that adapt to our customers rather than expecting every customer to fit into the same predetermined layout.
Need additional pallet storage during a seasonal increase?
We can look at the space differently.
Need more room for picking and fulfillment as ecommerce orders increase?
The warehouse can change with the operation.
Our goal isn’t simply to find somewhere to put your products. It’s to build a warehouse solution around what your business actually needs.
Inventory doesn’t follow a single path through our warehouse.
Our forklifts, narrow-aisle forklifts, pallet jacks, and all-electric material-handling fleet help our team move products efficiently between receiving, storage, fulfillment, staging, and outbound shipping. With both dock-height and ground-level access, we’re equipped to accommodate different receiving and shipping requirements as products move through the facility.
Because a warehouse shouldn’t simply give inventory somewhere to sit.
It should help keep it moving.
Where you store inventory affects how efficiently you can move it.
Not every manufacturer wants a building full of inventory waiting to be used.
With more companies relying on lean and just-in-time inventory strategies, having products positioned near the right shipping corridors can make a meaningful difference.
C&O’s Durham warehouse is near I-85 and I-40, providing access to major routes throughout North Carolina and the East Coast, including corridors serving Wilmington, Charleston, and Norfolk.
That gives customers another place to position inventory until it’s needed for production or distribution. Ecommerce companies need inventory positioned where orders can move efficiently toward customers. Distributors need products accessible when demand changes.
The right warehouse location gives businesses another place to keep inventory within reach, without taking on the cost and complexity of operating another facility themselves.
A warehouse can have plenty of available space and still create problems if nobody knows where anything is.
Organization has always been fundamental to how C&O operates.
Our warehouse management system helps track inventory as it moves into, through, and out of the facility, while customers can access inventory information through our online portal.
That visibility becomes particularly valuable as inventory grows.
Customers maintain visibility into what’s available and what has shipped, while our team handles the physical movement and management of inventory throughout the warehouse.
Technology gives us the visibility.
Our warehouse management technology helps us maintain visibility across thousands of products. Our team brings the experience needed to keep that inventory organized and manage its movement throughout the facility.
Customers trust us with inventory their businesses depend on.
Protecting it isn’t an extra service. It’s part of doing the job correctly.
Our facility uses extensive interior and exterior camera coverage to monitor warehouse operations and help protect customer inventory. Fire protection systems and established warehouse procedures provide additional safeguards, while trained employees handle products according to each customer’s requirements.
We also believe organization and cleanliness are part of protecting inventory.
A well-run warehouse should be a place where products are stored carefully, employees can work safely, and customers can feel confident about where their inventory is being kept.
That’s the standard we work to maintain every day.
C&O has never grown simply for the sake of getting bigger.
Our growth has followed the needs of our customers.
As those needs continue to evolve, we’re preparing our facility and our team for what comes next.
Our current facility continues to evolve alongside our customers. We’ve added racking, reorganized operational areas, and adjusted storage configurations to make more effective use of the space available. As customer demand grows, we’ll continue evaluating opportunities to add the capacity needed for what’s next.
But additional warehouse space represents more than room for more inventory.
Growth creates opportunities for our people, too.
As C&O expands, we want employees to have opportunities to take on greater responsibility, develop new skills, and build long-term careers within the company.
More customers create more opportunities.
More capabilities create more opportunities.
And responsible growth allows us to continue investing in both.
Square footage matters.
So do equipment, technology, location, and available capacity.
But choosing a warehouse partner ultimately comes down to something more.
You need confidence in the people responsible for your inventory.
At C&O, customers aren’t sending products into an enormous national warehouse network and hoping someone understands their account. They’re working with a local team that knows their operation, knows their inventory, and can adapt when their needs change.
That’s the balance we’ve worked to maintain since 1968.
The warehouse capabilities growing businesses need.
The flexibility to change alongside them.
And the personal service that comes from knowing who you’re working with.
Whether you’re looking for additional pallet storage, e-commerce fulfillment space, regional distribution support, or a warehouse solution that can grow alongside your operation, we’d welcome the opportunity to learn what you need.
Let’s move your business forward.
