FST Logistics, a Columbus, Ohio-headquartered provider of third-party logistics service, has announced the opening of a temperature controlled warehouse in Fort Worth, Texas. The 383,930-square-foot facility will significantly increase the company’s total storage capacity and provide faster, more efficient supply chain solutions to a growing customer base in the southern United States.
“This is an exciting time for us,” said Zak Hancock, chief operations officer. “Through strategic conversations and planning sessions with our customers, it became clear that expanding our operations outside the Midwest would benefit their supply chains tremendously. This move allows us to mirror our Ohio operations in a secondary region, improving service, reducing costs, and supporting our customers’ growth.”
The Fort Worth warehouse offers several key benefits that will enhance FST Logistics’ operations. Its strategic location within the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) area provides quick access to major highways and intermodal hubs, facilitating more efficient delivery and fulfillment services across the region. Additionally, as it is situated within a foreign trade zone, companies are allowed to process goods without US Customs involvement. The region also has excellent transportation networks, including nonstop flight access to 194 cities and easy access to major markets across the nation.
“Our expansion into the Fort Worth area marks a significant milestone for FST, our employee-owners, and our current and future customers,” stated President Brad Wright. “We will deploy our Pillars of Excellence business operating model to our DFW operations and deliver the same level of service our customers have grown to expect.”
