Delanco, Nj Warehouse Expansion
RLS Logistics has announced an expansion of its cold storage warehouse in Delanco, New Jersey, which is set to enhance operations significantly. The expansion is expected to go live later this month and will add over 6,750,000 cubic feet of temperature-controlled space. This increase will accommodate approximately 8,000 new pallet positions, addressing the growing demand from customers across the Northeast corridor.
The addition of this capacity marks a crucial step for RLS Logistics, a prominent third-party logistics provider specializing in cold chain solutions. With this expansion, the company aims to solidify its role as a strategic partner for manufacturers, importers, and retailers of frozen and refrigerated foods.
Russell Leo, CEO of RLS Logistics, expressed the significance of this milestone, stating, “As a family-owned business for more than 57 years, we’ve built RLS on the foundation of personal relationships, unmatched service, and hard work. This expansion is a testament to our customers’ growth and to the commitment of our Teams that service them.”
The new facility will feature advanced refrigeration systems and high-density racking, which will improve throughput and enhance RLS’s capabilities for large-scale distribution and case picking operations. The strategic location of Delanco, close to the Port of Philadelphia and major Northeast markets like New York and Baltimore, positions it as an optimal hub for regional and national distribution.
Michael Fischer, Vice President of Operations for Cold Storage, highlighted the operational focus of the new facility. “Every square foot of this facility was designed with operational excellence in mind. We’re excited to bring this project to life and to continue delivering best-in-class service as we support our growing customer base,” he said.
The expansion is also expected to create new job opportunities in Burlington County, reflecting RLS’s commitment to community investment and job creation. Founded in 1968, RLS Logistics has been a family-owned business for over 55 years and has evolved into a leading integrated cold chain logistics provider.
The Delanco warehouse expansion aligns with a broader growth strategy aimed at meeting the evolving needs of the food and beverage industry. As consumer demand continues to rise, RLS Logistics is poised to play a key role in ensuring efficient and reliable cold chain solutions.
