Westchester, Penn.-based freight transportation and supply chain services provider A. Duie Pyle recently announced it has formally broken ground on an expansion of its 115,000 square-foot expansion of its integrated logistics center, which is in close proximity to Hagerstown, Maryland. This facility opened up in September 2020, and the expansion is expected to be completed in January 2022.
Pyle is adding 115,000 square-feet to this facility, in addition to its current 266,585 square-feet—comprised of an 80-door LTL cross dock, full-service fleet, maintenance garage, office and warehouse space—which, upon completion, will bring its total square footage to 383,545. And the company said that these expansion efforts will provide various services that match up well with the company’s recent integrated logistics campus openings, in terms of warehouse and distribution functionality, including: warehousing pick, pack and ship, and nearly 10,000 square feet of flammable storage.
Services provided by A. Duie Pyle for shippers, at its Hagerstown Integrated Logistics Center include: same- and next-day distribution, assembly and value-added project capabilities, final-mile delivery options, improved shipping integrity, extended cut times, consolidation and de-consolidation. And it also includes the complete integration of Pyle’s LTL, Logistics, Dedicated and Warehousing & Distribution solutions.
Pyle said that the expansion will add to Pyle’s overall capacity to meet the needs of its customers who utilize the transportation provider’s supply chain solutions while also providing a strategic entry point to northeast distribution.
“我们正兴奋地宣布我们的扩张Hagerstown campus and look forward to adding new locations to our portfolio of Integrated Logistics Centers,” said Frank Granieri, COO of Supply Chain Solutions at A. Duie Pyle, in a statement. “Several projects are in various stages of development as we continue to invest in Transportation, Cross Dock, and Warehouse capacity to provide our customers with flexible integrated solutions that exceed their supply chain needs.”
When A. Duie Pyle first opened up this facility last September, it said that it had filed permitting for a 100,000 square-foot warehouse, in order to meet surges in shipping and COVID-19-driven e-commerce demand, which was subsequently upped to 115,000 square-feet.
“The expansion of our operations in the Hagerstown area will lead to the creation of new jobs and gives our loyal customers in the region a more comprehensive experience,” said John Luciani, COO of LTL Solutions at A. Duie Pyle, at the time. “This state-of-the-art facility will allow us to provide a complete range of integrated transportation, warehousing and distribution services, while also improving customer service, controlling costs and streamlining Pyle’s operations. Offering these enhanced services is more important than ever before, as more people are relying on the expedited delivery of their goods.”
In a LinkedIn post, from last Septemberl, Russ Miceli, Vice President- Integrated Solutions at A. Duie Pyle Inc. wrote that the new Hagerstown Integrated Logistics Center was open and ready to offer new value and possibilities for shippers’ supply chains.
“Our new Integrated Logistics Center consist of 200,000 sq. ft. of warehouse space that is expandable to 300,000 sq. ft. and attached to an 80-door cross-dock,” he wrote. “This new facility sits on 38 acres, has close access to I-81 and I-70, and is in close proximity to both CSX and Norfolk Southern intermodal yards.
