One year since shipping began last summer from its new Naples distribution warehouse, Uline celebrates the success of its Florida expansion.
Uline’s Florida branch, the 13th and newest location to its North American network, began serving customers in South and Central Florida in June 2023 from its 915,750-square-foot, air-conditioned warehouse recently built in Collier County. The massive distribution center at 3830 Uline Drive in the City Gate commerce park abuts the Paradise Coast Sports Complex and the Great Wolf Lodge Resort that is targeted to launch this fall.
Since staffing began in early 2023, Uline has hired more than 200 employees to staff operations, providing high-paying and stable jobs in the Naples area. Adding to its workforce of more than 9,000 employees nationwide, Uline continues to seek candidates to fill open positions as the company grows because of an increase in customer demand. The Naples warehouse stocks more than 40,000 products, and ships out thousands of orders daily, upholding the promise of same-day shipping for the company, a leading distributor of shipping, industrial and packaging materials.
“It’s been incredible to see this location grow from a construction site, into a flourishing warehouse that supports Central and South Florida,” said Naples Branch Manager Brad Heisner. “Uline is proud to be an engaged part of the Naples community—offering quality jobs, supporting local organizations and providing quality products for businesses ensuring their operations run smoothly.”
Uline also has made efforts to give back to the local community. Company employees actively team up with local organizations such as the Guadalupe Center, participate in holiday gift and pet supply drives and support the Shy Wolf Sanctuary, a local wildlife rescue center.
Founded in 1980 by the Uihlein family, Wisconsin-based Uline was recognized this year for the second consecutive year by Forbes on its annual list of “America’s Best Large Employers.” Uline is known for its clean, desirable work environment and employee satisfaction. As with other locations, the modern, air-conditioned warehouse in Naples features an on-site fitness center, walking paths, complimentary at-work chair massages and monthly lunch-and-learn programs on various topics.
“Uline’s high standards of precision and excellence have a deeper meaning for employees, customers and the community,” the company reports.
Uline’s signature emphasis on beautiful and well-maintained landscaping also has a positive impact on employee wellness and morale. The company’s 100-acre Naples campus is home to 85,000 plants and native vegetation and was recognized with a 2024 Florida Design Award by the American Society of Landscape Architects.
Uline’s Naples Branch has open positions for warehouse operations, customer service representatives, sales reps and custodians. Area residents interested in joining the growing Uline team of 217 employees in Naples can learn more about open positions by visiting uline.jobs/florida.
