Fort-Worth-Facility
FST Logistics is a 100% employee-owned company.
Ohio-based FST Logistics, a leading provider of third-party logistics solutions, has opened a new warehouse in north Fort Worth.
The 383,930-square-foot facility at 2601 Petty Place will significantly increase FST Logistics’ total storage capacity and enable the company to provide faster, more efficient supply chain solutions to its growing customer base in the southern U.S., company officials said. As a temperature-controlled, full-service warehouse, the facility will also enhance FST’s ability to meet the diverse needs of its clients.
“This is an exciting time for FST,” said Zak Hancock, FST Logistics COO, in a statement. “Through strategic conversations and planning sessions with our customers, it became clear that expanding our operations outside the Midwest would benefit their supply chains tremendously. This move allows us to mirror our Ohio operations in a secondary region, improving service, reducing costs, and supporting our customers’ growth.”
FST Logistics, based in Columbus, Ohio, is a 100% employee-owned, third-party logistics provider specializing in warehousing, transportation, and distribution solutions.
The Fort Worth facility offers several key benefits that will enhance FST Logistics’ operations, the company said, including location, which will facilitate more efficient delivery and fulfillment services across the southern U.S.
Additionally, the Fort Worth area offers numerous supply chain advantages, such as being known as one of Texas’s 32 foreign trade zones, which allows companies to process goods without U.S. customs involvement. The region also has excellent transportation networks, including nonstop flight access to 194 cities and a central location that provides easy access to major markets across the U.S.
“I could not be more thrilled with FST’s current direction. Our expansion into the Dallas-Fort Worth area marks a significant milestone for FST, our employee-owners, and our current and future customers,” said Brad Wright, FST Logistics president. “Providing a full complement of warehouse and transportation services in multiple areas across the country allows us to keep up with our customers’ growth and, most importantly, their future growth. We will deploy our Pillars of Excellence business operating model to our DFW operations and deliver the same level of service our customers have grown to expect from FST.”
