Frontier Logistics expanding North Charleston operations

Logistics Provider Investing $35.5 Million in Charleston County

Frontier Logistics, a provider of supply chain management services, is expanding its existing operations in Charleston County with the recent purchase of 26 acres at the former Navy base in North Charleston, S.C. The company’s $35.5 million investment is expected to create an additional 34 jobs.

With operations in South Carolina and Texas, Frontier Logistics is a provider of diverse and complete supply chain management services and solutions to a wide range of industries. With its experienced management team, the company offers a variety of services to meet its customers’ needs, including warehousing, packaging, transportation and more.

“Charleston has significant logistical advantages that reach the entire world market, enough so that it compels us to make Charleston a comprehensive launching pad for future export/import and domestic logistics needs. We believe in the strong and effective leadership that has been shown to us by both the South Carolina Ports Authority and Palmetto Railways. We are very excited to get the new Charleston facility up and running in short order and become an even larger contributor and good neighbor in the greater Charleston community,” said Frontier Logistics CEO George Cook.

Frontier Logistics will be constructing a 400,000-square-foot, rail-served warehousing facility to support the transloading of plastic pellets for export through the Port of Charleston. Rail service will be provided by Palmetto Railways, providing connections to both CSX and Norfolk Southern.

Hiring for the new positions should begin in the fourth quarter of 2018, and interested applicants should visit the company’s careers page online.

“South Carolina Ports Authority is pleased to congratulate Frontier Logistics on the expansion of their operations and new facility in North Charleston.
