The $125 million facility will distribute products and devices to ASCs, hospitals, nursing homes, hospices and other healthcare facilities. 

The Grayslake facility is expected to handle about $1 billion a year in orders and will create about 700 new jobs in the community, according to a July 20 press release. 

The center is part of a $2 billion dollar initiative from Medline to create new distribution centers and new technology in the health distribution space. 

Medline currently operates 50 distribution centers and upwards of 20 manufacturing facilities across the U.S.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
