As part of its continuing growth in distribution & fulfillment services, Averitt Express recently opened a new facility in the Memphis area.
The facility features 260,000 sq. ft. of enclosed space to handle the flow and distribution of domestic and international freight. Within short proximity of the Memphis International Airport, as well as the Memphis-area BNSF Rail Yard, the new location will be equipped to handle the growing international shipping needs in the region. The area is in the heart of one of the nation’s busiest manufacturing and customer-dense regions, as it’s within a day’s reach of numerous major markets including Atlanta, Cincinnati and Dallas.
With its new Memphis facility, Averitt will be able to streamline its customers’ supply chain needs throughout the Central and Southeast United States.
The new facility raises the company’s total warehousing space to over 2.5 million square feet of space across more than 40 locations.
“We’ve eagerly awaited the opening of our Memphis distribution & fulfillment facility,” said Ed Smith, Averitt’s vice president of distribution & fulfillment. “It just took the right partnership with the right facility. And once we found that, it created the perfect opportunity. Memphis is one of the largest intermodal markets in the country.”
