A. Duie Pyle has opened a new warehouse and distribution center in Allentown, Pennsylvania, the company announced last week.
The LTL carrier and brokerage said its new 327,000-square-foot facility was built on a 20-acre site with access to I-78 and I-476. The site, which initially will employ 30 people and will have a full staff of 50 in the next two years, enhances the company’s Northeast logistics network.
“This major investment brings much needed warehousing capacity to the regional supply chain and further amplifies our capabilities as a leader in the space,” Frank Granieri, COO of supply chain solutions at A. Duie Pyle said in a statement. “With the opening of this facility in Allentown, we will be able to offer innovative engineered fulfillment and transportation solutions to our expanding customer base.”
The company, which purchased the property and owns the building, said the supply chain has experienced challenging conditions due to the pandemic. The company said its nearby LTL facility will help facilitate operations at the new warehouse and distribution center as well as ensure customers have access to a wide range of services.
Its Allentown facility has 109 trailer parking spots and in addition to storage, the site is designed to accommodate seasonal surge and transloading, the company said.
The company said collaboration with Allentown and neighboring Hanover Township made the project a reality.
“A. Duie Pyle has been a great partner in our community,” Hanover Township Manager Melissa Wehr said in a statement, “and we’re excited they’ve chosen to continue that success and expand their business and family values in Hanover Township Lehigh County and the Lehigh Valley.”
