Kenco, a leading third-party logistics (3PL) provider, today announced its plans to open a new, expanded Innovation Lab. The 30,000-square-foot Chattanooga, Tenn., facility will replace and build upon the legacy of Kenco’s previous 10,000-square-foot facility. Additional space enables the organization to test and demo more supply chain solutions and accommodate larger, more complex technologies. The new lab will also encourage greater collaboration with the Chattanooga technology community.

Construction of Kenco’s new Innovation Lab, which will serve as a collaborative space for developing, testing and demonstrating innovative supply chain solutions.
A ribbon cutting event is planned for Sept. 10 at the lab, located at 4885 Claude Ramsey Parkway, Suite 105, in Chattanooga.
First established in 2015, Kenco’s Innovation Lab has served as a driving factor behind the 3PL’s dedication to technological advancement, providing a testing ground for emerging supply chain solutions. The new facility aims to expand upon this foundation by providing a modern, hands-on environment built to explore cutting-edge automation.
“The Innovation Lab has long stood as the convergence point for leading technologies and real-world applications, helping both manufacturers and customers identify and realize what’s possible,” says Ainsley Williams, Vice President, Automation & Innovation at Kenco. “By tripling our innovation footprint, we can further provide a space for OEMs to continue experimenting with their products in a real environment and for customers to explore product and value without having to invest in them.”
While the lab itself is growing, Kenco’s approach to innovation and testing will scale alongside it, all within the walls of its authentic testing environment. Designed to closely mirror real-world warehouse conditions, the lab is intentionally vendor-neutral, providing an environment for objective, data-driven testing and evaluation.
