Strategic Growth Enhances TA’s Commitment to Customer Service and Evolving Supply Chain Demands
TA, a leading North American provider of third-party logistics (3PL) services, has announced the addition of two new warehouses to its Greenwood, Indiana campus. This expansion strengthens TA’s ability to support its customers through innovative, people-first logistics solutions, furthering its commitment to supply chain excellence.
New Facilities Boost Capacity and Safety
The newly added facilities total over 350,000 square feet, located adjacent to TA’s existing operations in the greater Indianapolis area. These warehouses measure 141,000 square feet and 211,000 square feet, respectively. A key feature of this expansion is the addition of specialized hazmat storage, allowing TA to safely store and manage hazardous materials for its customers. This capability aims to streamline operations, reduce lead time, and ensure a high standard of safety and compliance.
Leadership Comments on the Strategic Expansion
“Our expansion in Greenwood marks a significant milestone for TA as we continue to invest in our infrastructure to better support our customers and enhance our service capabilities,” said Scott Schell, President and CEO of TA. “This extension of our footprint not only adds valuable capacity and new features to support our customers’ operations but also allows us to be more agile and responsive in delivering efficient and effective logistics solutions as we continue to grow and evolve.”
Tailored Solutions for Key Customers
The expansion includes the acquisition of two warehouses, with the larger facility specifically tailored to meet the needs of a single key customer. TA’s decision to acquire both facilities underscores its adaptability and focus on customer-centric service. The smaller warehouse will address increasing demand and provide flexibility to accommodate both current and future customers.
“With each new facility, we’re adding more than just capacity; we’re fostering growth and innovation to create solutions that truly make a difference for our customers,” said Greg Goad, President of Warehousing, Fulfillment & Mill Services at TA. “This expansion is not just about adding space, it’s about enabling us to better serve our customers and deliver on our promise of supply chain excellence.”
Expansion to Create Jobs and Support Local Communities
TA is also planning an additional 60,000 square feet of dedicated customer warehouse space before the end of the year, an expansion expected to generate approximately 30 new warehouse jobs. This investment further demonstrates TA’s commitment to both its customers and local communities, creating permanent employment opportunities in the Greenwood area.
Growing Footprint Positions TA for Long-Term Success
With a presence across North America, including key supply chain hubs throughout the U.S., TA is well-positioned to provide end-to-end supply chain management services, encompassing warehousing, transportation, and a variety of 3PL solutions. This latest expansion increases TA’s total North American warehouse space to 1,998,900 square feet, underscoring its focus on efficiency, reduced lead times, and building long-term partnerships through tailored solutions.
TA’s ongoing commitment to customer service and supply chain innovation continues to set it apart in the competitive 3PL industry, positioning the company for sustainable growth and success.
