Orgill expects to have its distribution center up and running at Griffiss Business and Technology Park in Rome this summer.
Orgill serves more than 6,000 retail hardware stores, home centers, professional lumber dealers and farm stores in more than 50 countries, according to statistics provided by the company.
The company announced it was coming to the city in May 2019, with plans to build a 780,000-square-foot facility.
Orgill expects to employ about 200 people at the facility and held a drive-thru job fair last month to jumpstart the hiring process.
The company originally expected to be fully operational by early 2022, but has recently said it now plans to open in June. Work on the facility was deemed essential, and construction has continued unabated throughout the pandemic.
