The other Maryland facility is located in Curtis Bay and will continue to operate in addition to its Rialto, California and Mount Juliet, Tennessee distribution houses. The establishment of the Sparrows Point distribution house, the fourth distribution facility in the United States and the second in the area of the company’s headquarters in Baltimore, which is expected to open in the summer of 2018, is a collaboration with state and local officials to employ approximately 1 000 employees in the Baltimore area once the facility is operating at its full capacity. The facility will feature state-of-the-art equipment and systems to enhance Under Armour's product distribution to its expanding consumer base through its e-commerce business.

The announcement was made in the presence of the Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, and several other local authorities.

"We take great pride in collaborating with Governor Hogan, Secretary Gill, Baltimore County Executive Kamenetz, Tradepoint Atlantic and the many other state and local officials who share our commitment to create economic and job opportunities for the greater Baltimore community and Maryland as a whole," said Under Armour Founder and CEO Kevin Plank. "The new Distribution House will be a top-notch service engine for our e-commerce business to deliver the right product, to the right place at the right time to our growing consumer base and athletes around the world."
