Consolidated Fastfrate
Opens new TDW facility in Halifax
July 3rd,2007
Fastfrate moved into a new state of the art TDW (Transload,Distribution,Warehousing)
facility.
This new facility is the
first of it's kind combining 3 distinct services under one roof.
The facility has the capacity to handle 500
transload per week, handle substantial growth on the ltl services,
and 30,000 square feet of warehouse space with the ability to add
another 60,000 square feet. We have been building a strong
management team for some time and we have a management team which is
ready to embrace the success of this new facility.
The facility will bring a value add infrastructure
for the Port of Halifax to attract steamship lines and
importers/exporters to Halifax.
We have seen an increase in import containers
through Halifax and expect this trend to continue with double digit
growth on a yearly basis.
We also expect to be able to increase the employee
count to 150 in the next two years, this means 100 new employees. We
are excited about the opportunity for growth and services for our
customers and the Port of Halifax.
This is just another step in becoming a full blown
Asset Based Global Logistics provider.
