A. Duie Pyle opens Cincinnati hub and expands Chester County warehouse

A. Duie Pyle has opened a new 44-door service center in West Chester Township, Ohio, extending its less-than-truckload network into southwest Ohio. The Chester County, Pennsylvania, based logistics provider completed the project simultaneously with the addition of a warehouse in Hampden Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.

The new Ohio facility connects freight between Ohio, the Northeast, and the Mid-Atlantic regions. Pyle officials stated that the location supports local manufacturing, distribution, and supply chain activity. The company said the center provides businesses in greater Cincinnati with broader access to its direct LTL network.

The Cincinnati location is expected to create 21 jobs initially. By the end of the year, the site will employ approximately 36 people. Management anticipates additional hiring opportunities as shipment volumes increase and the company's presence in the area grows.

In Pennsylvania, the company completed a 78,760-square-foot warehouse at 485 Terminal St. in Hampden Township. The new building sits adjacent to Pyle's existing less-than-truckload service center. The company described the combined site as a fully integrated logistics center that brings warehousing and transportation operations together on one campus.

Frank Granieri, the company's Chief Commercial Officer, said the integration allows the firm to reduce handoffs and improve coordination. He stated that connecting inventory and transportation under one roof creates a more responsive supply chain for customers.

The Hampden Township facility operates in tandem with the adjacent service center. This setup provides direct connectivity to Pyle's transportation network. The company said this configuration allows customers to position inventory closer to major markets while reducing supply chain complexity.

The Pennsylvania site has convenient proximity to Interstates 81, 76, and 83, as well as U.S. Route 15. Pyle noted that the location offers access to key population centers and distribution markets throughout the region. The company said the center is particularly valuable for industries requiring just-in-time replenishment, including health care, medical supplies, and manufacturing.

A. Duie Pyle announced groundbreaking for another integrated warehouse and LTL service center near the Port of Virginia in Suffolk this year. The company, founded in 1924, is family-owned and operates in 15 states. Its current footprint includes Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, Maine, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia.
