WDS Announces Capacity Availability at its Newark-area Distribution Center

World Distribution Services (WDS), a leading provider of creative warehouse logistics solutions, announces capacity availability in the company’s recently-built Linden warehouse and distribution center. WDS’s Newark-area facility is located a few miles outside of the Port of NY/NJ and offers ample space, flexibility, and network support for cross-dock and transload services, responding to the need of customers moving cargo through one of the country’s busiest ports.

As the market continues to fluctuate and demand for warehouse space is still high, we know there are shippers who are looking for a trusted partner for their warehousing and distribution needs. We can now offer capacity, an experienced team, and flexible, customizable solutions that allow customers to scale with the ebbs and flows of their business,”​​ said Dale Young, Vice President of Warehousing & Distribution for WDS.


The class A facility offers easy access to more than 100 million consumers within a single day’s drive. The facility features a total of 480,000 square feet, 90 dock doors across two sides of the building for efficient cross-docking, over 300 parking spots for trailers, and a 40-foot clear height.

It is not just capacity and space that we are providing; our customizable approach means we can help customers find solutions to meet their unique needs and challenges,” said Tim Tresch, Director of Operations for WDS Linden.
