Our customers require right-sized, but scalable, logistics solutions in order to flex with their customer demands both by volume and geography. That is what we will continue to offer by expanding our service network to meet customer and market needs in this ever-changing logistics environment,” stated Ed Lee, Chief Operations Officer, Smart Warehousing. “Our new Germantown location, we believe, fits right into this strategic plan and we look forward to growing our presence in this market”
