Tennessee-based IMC expanding national footprint with four new locations: Here's where
The Memphis area’s largest intermodal logistics firm is increasing its presence across the country.
Collierville-based IMC is touted as the nation’s largest marine drayage firm. The company is set to open new facilities in Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and California locations in Victorville and Sacramento, according to a news release.
IMC's new Cincinnati facility
The largest of the new facilities is the Cincinnati location at 9991 Commerce Park Drive. The 35,000-squre-foot warehouse consists of 12 acres of paved parking for more than 100 trucks and 400 wheeled containers. Company officials said the location provides secured storage services for its drivers and clients, as well as services such as transloading, cross-docking and warehouse storage to clients.
“IMC’s continued growth in the Cincinnati and Ohio Valley area is a testament to our commitment to provide superior services and capacity for our growing client base,” Barry Bernard, president of IMC’s Ohio Valley Region, said in a news release. “Our cutting-edge facility consolidates four drop yard facilities across the metro area. We are thrilled to open this new location in the largest township in the state of Ohio and the ninth largest municipality in the state.”
How IMC's other new sites will operate
In addition to the Cincinnati facility, IMC recently opened a facility adjoining to the Norfolk Southern Railroad in Pittsburgh, as well as one in Victorville assisting the large desert area and one in Sacramento providing a waypoint for deliveries across the Sierra Nevada into Reno, Nevada.
Company officials stated in the release that all four new locations have brought jobs to those local communities both for truck drivers as well as administrative and support positions.
