Lynch Logistics Expands Operations with New Warehouse Lease in East Millinocket
Lynch Logistics has announced the expansion of its operations with the leasing of a 50,000 square foot warehouse in East Millinocket, Maine. The site, located at 50 Main St., was formerly a newsprint facility and offers quick access to Interstate 95. This new development aims to enhance the company’s logistical capabilities, particularly with the introduction of a truck-to-rail option facilitated by the resurrection of a rail shed on the premises.
Strategic Location and Infrastructure Enhancements
The newly leased warehouse is strategically situated on the former Great Northern Paper site, just two miles from I-95. This location is ideal for logistics operations, providing ease of access to major transportation routes. Lynch Logistics plans to utilize the site’s existing infrastructure, which includes 25-foot ceilings and forklifts with a capacity of 9,000 pounds, to optimize its storage and fulfillment services.
Significant upgrades have been made to the facility to ensure it meets modern standards. The warehouse now boasts a new propane heating system, a state-of-the-art sprinkler system, and high-efficiency lighting. Additionally, there are eight truck dock doors and one drive-in door to facilitate efficient loading and unloading of goods.
Comprehensive Security and Capacity
The security of the warehouse is managed by Lincoln Infrastructure, which provides 24/7 oversight, ensuring the safety of stored goods. The main warehouse offers 50,000 square feet of heated storage space, contributing to Lynch Logistics' total storage capacity that exceeds 450,000 square feet across four sites. These facilities provide dry storage and product fulfillment services, supporting a wide range of logistics needs.
Expansion in Other Regions
Parallel to Lynch Logistics’ development in East Millinocket, other logistics firms are also expanding their footprints. Jayud, for instance, has opened a new warehouse in Rialto, California. This facility, measuring over 49,000 square feet, is strategically located near Amazon's LGB7 and LGB8 centers and less than 20 minutes from Ontario International Airport. Operated by an experienced local team, this site aims to support cross-border sellers with last-mile solutions. Jayud plans to further expand its U.S. operations by investing in additional warehouse capacity by 2026.
Meanwhile, Ryder, another logistics company, has recently occupied a warehouse in the Chambersburg area, Pennsylvania. This facility, which spans over 1 million square feet, had been vacant for two years. Located off Interstate 81 Exit 10, it is a crucial hub for tractor-trailers, including those operated by Amazon, and is less than 10 miles from intermodal yards. Ryder employs more than 2,500 people in Pennsylvania and operates nearly 700 facilities across North America, including locations in Hagerstown, MD, and York, PA.
Conclusion
Lynch Logistics' new lease in East Millinocket represents a significant expansion of its operations, enhancing its logistical capabilities and offering additional services to its clients. The strategic location and comprehensive upgrades to the facility underscore the company's commitment to providing efficient and reliable logistics solutions. As the industry continues to grow, developments such as these demonstrate the ongoing demand for innovative and strategically located logistics hubs.
