New York-based company distributes medical products.
Dynarex announced last week it opened its 280,000-square-foot distribution center at 14500 Hyatt Road in North Jacksonville.
Dynarex, a medical products distributor, said the warehouse will serve as a hub to support its national and international network.
The Jacksonville location is the largest of six Dynarex distribution centers in the U.S. with the other five in Arkansas, Ohio, Nevada and two in New York.
“This huge new Florida location will greatly benefit our distributors because we are so close to the port of Jacksonville and to Jacksonville International Airport,” said Dynarex President and CEO Zalman Tenenbaum in a news release.
The almost 100-acre property is between Interstate 95 and North Main Street, north of Interstate 295 and River City Marketplace.
JIA is west of the site and JaxPort facilities are south of it.
Dynarex products include wound care, antiseptic products, patient and instrument care, diagnostics, ointments and creams, first aid and other items.
Principals of Orangeburg, New York-based Dynarex bought the office-warehouse in June 2016 for $3.28 million.
The property was developed in 1984 for Pic N’ Save, a former Jacksonville-based discount chain.
Dynarex invested at least $1.64 million into renovations, according to building permits issued since February.
That puts Dynarex’s investment at nearly $5 million.
Dynarex, established in 1967, previously leased about 75,000 square feet among two Jacksonville locations.
A spokeswoman Monday was researching the job count and potential increase.
