Industrial Scientific, a provider of gas detection as a service, announced that operations went live earlier this year at its newly leased 19,500-square-foot facility near Pittsburgh.

The new distribution center supports global order fulfillment along with Industrial Scientific’s regional manufacturing and instrument repair operations. Previously housed at the company’s headquarters in Oakdale, Pa., these functions faced operational challenges brought on by business growth, the company says.

“Industrial Scientific has experienced significant growth over the last decade,” says Jim Quasey, vice president of global operations. “The distribution center provides the space needed to efficiently deliver to our customers the life-saving products that they rely on every day.”
