Kadean Breaks Ground with Scannell and McKesson in Moore, Oklahoma
Kadean Construction joined Scannell Properties and McKesson Corporation to host a ceremonial groundbreaking event to celebrate a new development project in Moore, Oklahoma!
Key stakeholders, local officials and community members joined together to hear speeches from McKesson President of U.S. Pharmaceutical Distribution Gene Cavacini, Governor Kevin Stitt, and Mayor of Moore Mark Hamm to celebrate the collaborative efforts and shared vision driving the project forward.
About the Project
The 330,000-square-foot facility will serve as a regional pharmaceutical distribution hub, combining digitally enabled logistics, state of the art automation, precision inventory management, and expanded cold chain capacity, helping ensure critical medicines reach customers safely and efficiently. The site will also increase capacity and throughput and strengthen operational resilience with 100% standby power to support safe operations in adverse conditions.
About McKesson
McKesson, a Fortune 100, U.S. based company that serves as a logistical and operational backbone of the healthcare system to help ensure patients can access medicines, has selected Moore, Oklahoma as the location for a highly automated regional distribution facility at the North Moore Industrial Park. The new facility will replace an existing distribution center, expanding capacity and modernizing capabilities to support future demand.
“The healthcare supply chain grows more complex, from supporting advanced therapies with specialized handling and storage to navigating modernization, security, and supply constraints. Patients are counting on consistent, reliable access to critical therapies. This investment strengthens our ability to deliver with speed, precision and resilience, while expanding capacity to better serve Oklahoma, Texas, and the surrounding region.”Gene Cavacini, President, U.S. Pharmaceutical Distribution, McKesson.
The investment underscores McKesson’s continued commitment to strengthening the reliability, security and efficiency of the healthcare supply chain and continuing to strengthen its strong, digitally connected distribution network across the U.S.

The facility will support the efficient distribution of pharmaceuticals and medical products across a multi-state region. It will expand the capacity of McKesson’s U.S. distribution network, helping ensure pharmacies, hospitals, and providers have consistent access to the products their patients rely on. McKesson distributes approximately one-third of all pharmaceuticals in North America and operates a digitally connected, automated distribution network designed to support the delivery of complex therapies to every care setting, from Main Street pharmacies to hospitals. Its decision to locate in Moore followed a rigorous evaluation of competing markets across the central United States.
“Kadean Construction is excited to be the construction partner for this sophisticated distribution facility with two valued repeat clients, McKesson and Scannell Properties!”
