Horizon Logistics has opened a new warehouse and cross-dock facility in Los Angeles.
The 176,000 sq.ft distribution centre is just ten miles from the Ports of LA and Long Beach ports, and has excellent connections to rail and road infrastructure within the Alameda Corridor.
Horizon Logistics is using the facility to offer an integrated distribution solution, including a port drayage service using a company-owned Clean Truck- and TWIC-compliant fleet; air freight forwarding; rapid transload for international import and export logistics; intermodal transportation management; value-added distribution services; and long-term storage as required by customers.
"While supply chains evolve away from Southern California for various reasons, LA/Long Beach will continue to be the primary gateway for US imports and exports," said Frank Knafelz, vice president of operations.
He added that the new facility is strategically located near both ports as well as LAX airport for efficient transload logistics linked to rail, road and air connections, in addition to handling demand in the Trans-pacific ocean market.
