Mount Laurel, N.J.-based RLS Logistics, through its affiliate RLS Partners, has unveiled plans to develop an 83,000 square-foot, temperature-controlled facility in central Massachusetts.
This site will be the newest addition to the RLS Partnering Regional Operator network of family-operated cold chain experts and is scheduled to open in the fourth quarter of 2021, according to a news release.
The facility will provide food distributors, processors, and importers in the New England region with cold storage capacity and access to RLS’ established temperature-controlled LTL (less than truckload) consolidation programs throughout the region, according to the release.
“There’s a tremendous opportunity in New England. We’re developing a new facility in a market where we think it’s needed and where there hasn’t been a new offering in years,” Bryan Hedge, an executive working exclusively with RLS on developing this project, said in the release.
The facility, the release said, will put 18,000 temperature-controlled pallet positions near key interstate highways, which will position the facility in the middle of the New England region as well as RLS Logistics’ transportation network.
