Two storage challenges, one operator

Two Chicago storage challenges we solve every day

You need storage space in Chicago

To cover seasonal peaks, give your operation overflow capacity, or set up a permanent base near your Midwest routes.

Your clients need a warehouse and you'd rather not run one

Outsource your Chicago warehousing and we operate on your company's behalf, with receiving and cross-docking.

One site, six services

One site handles your cargo end to end

Refrigerated storage

Controlled environment for temperature-sensitive cargo, monitored 24/7 against GMP/GDP parameters.

Ambient section

Dry warehousing for non temperature-sensitive product, integrated with the same WMS and security perimeter.

Repacking & labeling

Repalletizing, kitting, relabeling and compliance preparation before product reaches its final destination.

Inventory management (WMS)

Real-time visibility, lot & expiration control, FIFO/FEFO and barcode traceability across every pallet.

Cross-docking

Move freight from inbound to outbound without long-term storage — faster turns, less handling, lower cost.

Rail-served warehouse

Direct rail connection inside the facility — bring container volume into Chicago by intermodal, not just truck.
