On January 26, 2023, Wagner Logistics, a warehousing and logistics management provider, announced that it is expanding its distribution space into Portland, Oregon, bringing its total distribution space in the United States to over 7 million square feet across 24 markets. The most recent warehouse has 82,556 sq. ft. of dedicated distribution space and can be converted into a multi-customer facility.
Wagner Logistics collaborated with Newmark Zimmer, one of the Midwest's leading commercial real estate firms, to obtain the warehouse lease for the Portland space. This distribution space serves as a vital distribution point for the customer Bridge Industrial/Modlo to manage the supply chain overflow of finished household products.
As global economic uncertainty persists, the need for efficient distribution is increasing. As a result, Wagner is taking warehouse cost optimization to a new level by sharing facilities, equipment, and personnel to address the distribution and storage needs of multiple shippers and manufacturers.
Brian Smith, President and CEO of Wagner Logistics, said, "From handling lightbulbs to ten-thousand pound roles of paper, Wagner's warehouse and management expansion into more U.S. cities is evidence that our trained and experienced team is safely handling a variety of products successfully at lower costs and at faster work rates." He added, "Finding and securing the one available warehouse space in the market to serve as an overflow facility for our client is testament that our team consistently has a finger on the pulse of the industry and is committed to solving distribution challenges using a lean manufacturing team, the accompanying innovative equipment and automation."
