Growscape expands flagship Ohio facility to 1.2 million square feet

Growscape, the combined company of The HC Companies and Classic Home & Garden, announced the grand opening of its expanded Manufacturing & Warehouse Campus in Middlefield, Ohio.

Headquartered in Ohio and Connecticut, the garden and décor company serves the greenhouse, nursery, retail and consumer markets.

With construction completed on a 750,000-square-foot warehouse, Growscape’s Middlefield campus now spans approximately 1.2 million square feet.

The new centralized one-stop facility consolidates previously dispersed operations into a fully integrated, high-capacity hube. Featuring 60,000 pallet positions and an advanced Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) system that utilizes four-level vertical storage (40 feet), Growscape’s Manufacturing Campus and Warehouse Center maximizes space and efficiency.

By housing both production and distribution under one roof, it streamlines the customer experience with fewer shipments and significantly improves order fulfillment. The design also allows for less product handling, preserving quality and enhancing customer satisfaction.

Growscape’s new campus also represents a sustainability advancement. By eliminating the need to transfer products to off-site warehouses, the facility removes five to six full-time trucks from daily operations. This reduction equates to more than 500,000 fewer freight miles each year and an estimated 1,500 tons of carbon dioxide emissions avoided annually, decreasing the company’s overall carbon footprint.

“At its core, this facility is about people, the customers we serve, the employees who make it possible and the community we call home. Our expanded Middlefield campus establishes a footprint to optimize delivery and service while at the same time allows for continued growth and expansion in support of the business,” said Gavin Collier, chief operating pfficer of Growscape. “It’s a milestone we’re proud to celebrate as we look toward what’s next in improving the way we serve our customers.”
