“This modern, 80,000 square feet distribution facility will be a great addition to our current portfolio,” said Barker. “We are fortunate to have pent up demand within our current customer base and this facility will allow us to help meet this demand. The acquisition demonstrates our commitment to further expand our packaging, warehousing and logistics brands in Virginia. The acquisition creates our sixth warehouse location in the Danville-Lynchburg area market.”
