RK Logistics Group Expands Warehouse Capacity in Phoenix
RK Logistics Group has made a significant stride in enhancing its operational capacity to meet the surging demand for logistics services in the Phoenix metro area. The company has recently inaugurated a new 80,000 square-foot temperature-controlled warehouse located at 7979 South Hardy Drive in Tempe, effectively doubling its overall warehousing capacity to nearly 158,000 square feet in the region.
The newly opened facility is strategically designed for the storage and distribution of a variety of commercial and industrial products. With specialized features including 25 dock doors, 30-foot clear-height ceilings, and over 200 parking spaces for trucks and trailers, the warehouse is fully equipped to support efficient operations. Trained personnel are on-site to ensure effective inventory management and fast order fulfillment, addressing the logistical needs of businesses in the growing sectors of renewable energy and manufacturing.
Joe MacLean, CEO of RK Logistics Group, emphasizes the opportunity that the greater Phoenix region presents. He remarked that the area is home to diverse industries requiring speedy, quality inventory management and distribution services. This expansion enables RK to better serve its esteemed clients, who often have complex supply chain demands.
This move comes almost a year after RK established its initial operations in the greater Phoenix area, where they took over a 79,000 square foot facility on an adjacent property. This growth is not just an increase in space but an extension of the company’s commitment to providing comprehensive logistics solutions, including warehousing, inventory control, order fulfillment, and dedicated transportation services.
James Bryant, Chief Operating Officer at RK Logistics, highlighted the facility's advantageous location. Its proximity to Sky Harbor International Airport and key interstate highways allows easy access to major intermodal rail operations, further enhancing delivery capabilities across the region.
The Phoenix expansion aligns seamlessly with RK’s broader strategy, as it continues its growth journey across several states including California, Michigan, Texas, and New York. The company has become a trusted partner for clients involved in the burgeoning sectors of lithium-ion battery and semiconductor manufacturing.
In total, RK Logistics Group now operates around 1.7 million square feet of warehousing space across multiple locations, serving a range of clients with their unique logistical needs. As they bolster their presence in Phoenix, RK Logistics reiterates its dedication to providing sustainable supply chain solutions that cater to innovative industries, ensuring that they are equipped to handle high-value, sensitive products that require rigorous handling and regulatory compliance.
