ROMEOVILLE, IL (May 5, 2025) – RJW Logistics Group, Inc. (“RJW” or the “Company”), a leading provider of retail logistics solutions for CPG companies, announced today the expansion of its retail logistics operation to Hazleton, Pennsylvania, increasing its total retail logistics footprint to 9.4 million square feet. RJW’s expansion to the Northeast corridor reflects the company’s focus on developing consolidation operations in strategically located regions that optimize CPG retail logistics performance nationwide. Currently providing national service from fifteen state-of-the-art consolidation warehouses in the U.S. transportation hubs of Chicago and Dallas, RJW will replicate its proven warehousing model in Pennsylvania to deliver even greater value to CPG customers with East Coast distribution.
Serving as the company’s Northeast flagship facility, the 1 million square foot Hazleton consolidation warehouse is expected to ship more than 90 million cases annually, hold 135,000 pallets, service over 100 CPG customers and create approximately 350 new jobs in the greater Hazleton area. Through its regional consolidation hub strategy, RJW reduces suppliers’ overhead and operational costs while delivering increased in-stocks and sales.
“Our expansion in Pennsylvania is an exciting and important step in RJW’s long-term growth,” said Kevin Williamson, CEO. “This location places us at the heart of critical East Coast trade routes, allowing us to move products into key retail markets faster and more efficiently – while supporting the continued growth of our CPG customers.”
RJW is committed to business practices that minimize its customers’ environmental footprint and promote sustainability. In 2024, RJW’s leading Retail Consolidation Program eliminated an average of 34 LTL shipments through one consolidated shipment. The Company also prioritizes and invests in the health and age of its fleet with aerodynamic, fuel-efficient, recent vintage trucks that contribute to a more sustainable logistics operation. RJW recycles over 1.8k tons annually across its network and powers its data centers with renewable energy – reducing carbon emissions by approximately 718 kg every month.
