The Suffolk location will function similarly to the company's Garden City location. It will serve as a strategic hub for distribution, packing, crating, and movement of goods made in the U.S.A. and other countries of the world.
“The Coastal Logistics Group Virginia team includes a mix of talented logistics engineers, packaging specialists, and business experts” said Chad Barrow, President of Coastal Logistics Group. “We are meeting present-day demands for CLG customers and actively pursuing new business for the Port of Virginia. We are excited to be a part of the growing logistics community in the area and contributing to the local economy."
“Our team is already building up a strong reputation and presence with customers and partners alike,” said Richard Barrow, CEO of Coastal Logistics Group. “We look forward to working with the City, State, and Port of Virginia to support our customer’s logistics needs in Virginia.”
