Funko, Inc. is relocating its main U.S. distribution facility to Buckeye, Arizona due to its strategic location and strong talent pool. The company is consolidating several distribution centers from Washington into the single facility.
“The demand for Funko products globally is as high as it’s ever been and the company recently surpassed $1 billion in revenue for 2021,” says Funko CEO Andrew Perlmutter. “The consolidation of several warehouses to one single facility will better improve our customer experience and maximize growth opportunities as our business scales.”
The Buckeye distribution center will feature green outdoor and indoor spaces, an associate gym, and a future retail outlet store for both associates and the community. 1.24 million kilowatt-hours of power will be generated by 1,500 included solar panels. The facility will offer 200 parking spaces for employees, visitors, and customers, and create more than 300 employee positions.
“This is the latest example of a company expanding its footprint to Greater Phoenix, maximizing our robust talent pool and scaling in the country’s fastest growing region, allowing Funko to consolidate its distribution services to meet the growing demands of its customer base,” says President and CEO Chris Camacho, Greater Phoenix Economic Council. “Funko will provide hundreds of job opportunities to residents and is a valued presence in the region.”
The facility will distribute a variety of Funko brands including Pop!, Loungefly, Gold, Paka Paka, Funko Games, and more.
