The facility is more than 455,000 square feet and offers temperature-controlled storage capabilities between 0 and 34o F. The property is rail-served by CSX with temperature-controlled rail and truck docks, and has 60 dock doors with significant staging area capabilities for an assortment of value-added services including: case picking; order-kitting and assembly; repacking; tempering; blast freezing; cross-docking; date coding; full transportation FTL and LTL capabilities; and customized order processing.
“It’s always been our goal to fully integrate the Tradewater site into our portfolio, and everything aligned to conclude the purchase early in the year.
