Speedy delivery key to success
A portion of the new distribution center will be leased to FedEx Ground, an integral partner in Medline’s logistics operations, expanding service to a growing customer base for both companies along the eastern seaboard. With immediate access to I-16 (East/West) and I-95 (North/South), the Richmond Hill location will provide the ability to reach key cities throughout the U.S. Southeast and Midwest within a one- to two-day drive.
“Not only will FedEx Ground’s space in the building help enable Medline deliveries to regional customer distribution centers, but the Port of Savannah terminal also provides direct access to two Class I railroads for our intermodal cargo,” said Mike Collins, vice president of operations for Medline. “In addition, the Port of Savannah’s Mid-American Arc initiative will further expand their intermodal capabilities throughout the Midwest and East Coast, and with access to 63% of the U.S. population in under three days, the Port of Savannah offers us even more choices for reaching inland markets.”
