Light distributor bulbs.com moves to new headquarters in Worcester, Mass.

bulbs.com, considered among the fastest growing lighting distributors in the U.S., has moved its headquarters to a larger, more efficient space located in the Stafford Commerce Center in. The buildings that were formerly occupied by the Parker Metal Corp. include an expansive one-story distribution center and offices that will combine to support the rapidly growing needs of the company's order processing operation as well as their commercial and residential customer support teams. bulbs.com is the largest tenant in the 205,000 s/f facility. "Without a doubt the most significant benefit to making this move will be the improvement in warehouse efficiency," said vice president of operations Wendy Rose. "Making the move from a multi-level warehouse to a modern single story high-bay distribution center enables our logistics team to receive, store and ship inventory more effectively than ever. Further, our employees have really embraced their new surroundings beginning with their Herculean effort in moving the contents of the office and warehouse to the new facility over the past weekend," said Rose.
