RIM acquires space in Los Angeles market

The 315,000-square-foot facility will house forwarding, warehouse and distribution operations    RIM logistics ltd., a leading provider of global freight forwarding and third-party logistics services, has announced the acquisition of a new facility in the Los Angeles market.
   “We are pleased to announce our new 315,000-square-foot facility in Santa Fe Springs, California. The facility will host our Los Angeles forwarding, warehouse and distribution operations under one roof. The facility, currently under construction, will be a state-of-the-art cross-dock facility, equipped with 40-foot ceilings and 68 doors,” RIM said.
   “This facility represents the next wave of forwarding and logistics. Combining throughput philosophies in a cross-dock and forwarding product, coupled with storage capacity in a narrow and vertical environment, we feel we will be able to combine what the industry has done with what the industry will do into one operational viewpoint,” the company said.
   RIM will take possession of the warehouse portion of the facility, roughly 305,000 square feet, around May 1, with the office being fully transitioned and functional by July 1.
