West Chester, Pa.-based A. Duie Pyle announced Tuesday it would be opening a new state-of-the-art warehouse and distribution center in Allentown.
The supply chain solutions company said the expansion would strengthen its supply chain solutions and bolster its operations in the Northeast. The new facility will add warehousing and distribution, consolidation, deconsolidation and integrated solutions to Pyle’s network in the region. When the facility opens this year, the company anticipates it will have 30 employees onsite, with an additional 20 added by the end of 2024.
“This major investment brings much needed warehousing capacity to the regional supply chain and further amplifies our capabilities as a leader in the space,” said Frank Granieri, COO of Supply Chain Solutions at A. Duie Pyle. “We are continually researching how we can better meet our customers’ evolving needs and continue to invest in real estate infrastructure to support their long-term growth objectives. With the opening of this facility in Allentown, we will be able to offer innovative engineered fulfillment and transportation solutions to our expanding customer base.”
The move will help ensure that goods flow uninterrupted throughout the Northeast, the company said, despite challenges faced by the supply chain over the past few years. At an adjacent location, Pyle will facilitate operations and ensure customers have access to a wide array of services.
The company worked with both Allentown and Hanover Township officials to develop the deal which will see the company move into a new 326,630-square-foot facility on more than 20 acres of land, accessible by both I-78 and I-476. Officials said it will be an important part of the local economy and for the Northeast’s economy.
“A. Duie Pyle has been a great partner in our community, and we’re excited they’ve chosen to continue that success and expand their business and family values in Hanover Township Lehigh County and the Lehigh Valley,” said Hanover Township Manager Melissa Wehr.
