The temperature-controlled logistics provider, which boasts 70 years of experience, offers a comprehensive approach to third-party logistics services for the food and beverage industry. The company currently operates facilities along the East Coast near the ports of New York and New Jersey, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Savannah.
The new operation will be part of North Charleston’s Shipyard Creek Logistics Center located at 2015 Tellico Road, 1.5 miles from the entrance of the Hugh K. Leatherman Sr. Terminal. The new facility comprises 259,000 sq. ft. of warehousing space on 17.6 acres of land, with an additional 9 acres for parking and storing 350 trailers and containers.
The temperature-controlled facility will be dedicated to public refrigerated warehousing solutions and will serve as a base for the company’s Safeway Trucking operation, East Coast Warehouse reported.
Operations are expected to begin in the summer of 2025.
