Nippon Express USA will be starting construction on a new warehouse in Wood Dale, Illinois. The warehouse is scheduled to start operations in January 2021. The Chicago area has one of the largest industrial clusters in the U.S.
According to an article in PR Newswire, Nippon USA's Chicago hub has facilities in three locations near Chicago and hope to provide gateway functions for the Midwest as one of the most important hubs in the country.
It's existing warehouse in Wood Dale offers the following services:
- Storage
- Delivery
- Logistics for general cargo
- Electrical discharge machines
- Press machines
- Other heavy equipment
By opening a new business location in Wood Dale, Nippon is seeking to generate synergetic effects by bolstering its logistics functions and restructuring its business locations, including the sharing of facilities with the Nippon Express Group's company Associated Global Systems, Inc. This will help them meet the diverse needs of automotive related and other customers for such incidental operations as repacking and inspections as well as cross-docking.
