AGRO Merchants Takes Over Temperature-Controlled Facility for Import/Export
Atlanta-based AGRO Merchants completed a sub-lease on a 121,000-square-foot temperature-controlled facility in Charleston, S.C., to provide state-of-the-art storage, handling and other value-added services to its import and export customers.
Constructed in 1999, the temperature-controlled facility will offer 14,000 frozen pallet positions, USDA meat import and export inspection services and eight 24-hour blast freezing cells for on-site blasting capacity. Strategically located outside of the Port of Charleston with immediate access to the I-26 and I-95 freeways, it is also positioned for overweight loads to assist shippers with optimal outbound loading and inbound de-consolidation support. AGRO is investing approximately $8 million in facility improvements.
