TOTOWA, N.J. — Phoenix Down has opened two direct shipping locations of 75,000 and 80,000 square feet, respectively, in Charlotte, N.C. and Walnut, Calif., adding to its warehouse and direct shipping in Little Falls, N.J., and manufacturing plant here.

Currently, 40 percent of its business is direct shipping, but that will continue to grow, according to the company.

"We are extremely versatile because we have direct shipping and domestic manufacturing," said John Facatselis, president and CEO. "We also have quality control people that work with five partner facilities in the Zhejiang province of China to back up our merchandise out of China, and warehouse our products for up to six months."
