SEKO Logistics said it has opened major new regional distribution hubs on the US east coast to manage growth in Baltimore and Charlotte as part of its investment strategy to expand the company’s facilities footprint in the United States.

The new Baltimore operation offers over 160,000 sq. ft. of warehouse space to support clients in the medical, e-commerce and defence sectors — which it said is an ISO 13485 certified facility for handling and managing logistics for Medical Devices.

SEKO has also invested in the ten-fold expansion of its facility in Charlotte, North Carolina, led by its managing director and SEKO Strategic partner, Jim Duffy.

To satisfy demand from finance, furniture, apparel, automotive and industrial clients, SEKO’s new 110,000 sq. ft. warehouse operation is fully C-TPAT compliant. With 24 dock doors, the facility combines the technology, equipment and security systems needed to scale any client’s project requirements.

SEKO’s growth in Baltimore and Charlotte will also increase their focus on White Glove and Cross Dock for Value-Added Freight Forwarding services in both locations. 

“Our need for warehouse space is growing rapidly in the United States and our new facilities in Baltimore and Charlotte are the first of many we will be opening over the next 12 months to stay one step ahead of our clients’ growth,” said Brian Bourke, SEKO’s chief growth officer.

He noted that this expansion follows the opening of a larger SEKO e-commerce and Omni-Channel hubs in other prime locations such as Los Angeles, Chicago, New Jersey and Atlanta.

“These investments demonstrate how fast we are growing outside of our main gateways in the US and emphasize the importance of Baltimore and Charlotte as strategic distribution hubs,” he added.
