Metro Supply Chain has announced plans to open a 230,000-square-foot automated distribution centre in Brampton, Ontario, by spring 2026. The facility will feature an AutoStore goods-to-person automation system integrated by Bastian Solutions, along with automated conveyors, high-capacity packing stations and very narrow aisle (VNA) racking. Installation of automation and racking is expected to begin in fall 2025. This will be Metro’s second facility using AutoStore technology, following its 2022 launch in Bolton, Ontario. The company says the system is designed to improve order picking speed, inventory visibility, and space utilization, while reducing manual handling and energy use. According to the company, the new site will support scalable fulfillment operations, particularly for retail and ecommerce clients, and help manage seasonal demand fluctuations more efficiently.
