VIA BERKELEY COUNTY GOVERNMENT

BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C. – A&R Logistics, Inc., a leading supply chain services company providing dry bulk transportation, warehousing, packaging, third-party logistics (3PL) and export solutions to the chemical industry broke ground Monday on its newest location.

The company’s $60 million investment is expected to create over 60 new jobs.  The new location will be situated off Highway 52 in Moncks Corner at the former site of Carolina Nursery.

“Berkeley County is pleased to welcome A&R Logistics to our corporate family. This company is a good fit for a unique location,” stated Berkeley County Supervisor Johnny Cribb. “Much of A&R Logistics’ product will be moved utilizing existing rail, limiting the number of additional trucks on roadways.”

Founded in 1969, A&R Logistics, Inc. provides a variety of bulk transportation and logistics solutions to multinational customers in the chemical industry. A&R Logistics, Inc. has more than 1,000 employees, with a large fleet of trucks and trailers across its extensive, nationwide network of terminals and warehousing and packaging facilities. 

“A&R is thrilled to partner with the great state of South Carolina and the Port of Charleston to expand its operations to the East Coast. We believe combining the Port of Charleston’s efficient operations with A&R’s deep experience in packaging and premier customer service will offer unparalleled service to the chemical and plastics industry,” stated A&R Logistics President and CEO Mark Holden.

Located in West Branch Commerce Park in Moncks Corner, S.C., A&R Logistics, Inc.’s new 615,000-square-foot facility will use cutting-edge equipment to offer an array of packaging solutions and complete logistics services for customers shipping product out of the Port of Charleston.  

The new facility is expected to be complete in the fourth quarter of 2020. Individuals interested in joining the A&R Logistics, Inc. team should contact Brenda Barnhart at [email protected] or visit http://www.ardoingitright.com/
