Wilkes-Barre, PA (August 7, 2006) — A $1.25 million expansion of Benco Dental’s Jacksonville, Florida distribution center is nearly complete. The project was initiated a full three years ahead of schedule due to higher-than-expected regional sales growth driven in part by expansion into new territories, an enlarged sales force and resulting market share gains.

Orders shipped from the Jacksonville warehouse have increased approximately 20% per year for each of the previous four years.

“When the facility was originally designed, we estimated that the original 44,000-square foot warehouse would support anticipated volumes for a full seven years,” said Louis S. Mangino, Vice President of Operations. But earlier this year, a three-stage plan for adding 18,000 square feet of additional space was put into action to meet customer demand. The final phase is expected to be completed in September.

The Jacksonville distribution center primarily services customers in the southeastern United States and mid-south. It is one of four regional distribution centers for Benco Dental, with others located in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania (servicing the northeast), Fort Wayne, Indiana (servicing the Midwest) and Grapevine, Texas (servicing the southwest and parts of the lower Midwest).

The company also operates over 40 branch locations and equipment showrooms in 30 contiguous states.
