ELIZABETH, NJ – February 27, 2024 – To better serve their growing customer base in the greater Savannah, GA area, East Coast Warehouse & Distribution today announced an agreement to expand their existing footprint with the lease of an additional 500,000 square feet of new warehouse space adjacent to their existing facility in Morgan Lakes Industrial Park. With this expansion, the company – a leading temperature-controlled logistics provider to the food and beverage industry – now operates one million square feet of warehouse space in the Savannah market and more than three million square feet of warehouse space on the East Coast.

“The Port of Savannah continues to grow and attract commerce with a high level of support from the Port, and local and state government,” said East Coast Warehouse CEO Jamie Overley. “Our expansion in the greater Savannah area allows us to continue to execute our vision and commitment to our customers of providing an end-to-end national temperature-controlled third-party logistics solution with regional expertise.”

This is the latest move for the company, a leading temperature-controlled logistics provider to the food and beverage industry, as it expands down the East Coast. In Savannah, East Coast Warehouse will leverage its port-based expertise to offer temperature-controlled warehousing, container drayage, local and regional trucking and national freight brokerage services. The company will hire an additional 50 people over the next year to support its continued growth. In addition to Savannah, East Coast Warehouse has strategic locations on the Ports of New York/New Jersey, where the company is headquartered, and in Philadelphia and Baltimore.

East Coast Warehouse continually receives awards and recognition. Since 2015, the company has been recognized annually as a Top 3PL and Cold Storage Provider by Food Logistics Magazine, and since 2019, its sister company Safeway Trucking has been annually recognized as a Top 100 Trucking Company by Inbound Logistics. In May 2023, East Coast Warehouse was named to Inbound Logistics’ Top 75 Green Supply Chain Partners list.

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.

How green is your glue?

If you’re looking to make the packaging process more eco-friendly, the obvious place to start is with the box itself. And that’s exactly what Salt Lake City-based Packsize did when it made its initial foray into sustainable packaging back in 2002. That year, the company launched its first product, an innovative on-demand packaging system designed to reduce cardboard waste (and the need for filler material) by creating a right-sized box for each shipment.

Now the company is ready for the next step: greening up the glue.
