Expansion will create 32 new jobs
JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. (July 8, 2015) — A&R Logistics, Inc. announced plan to relocate from its 80,000-s.f. facility to a larger 175,000- s.f. facility in the River Ridge Commerce Center.
A&R will invest more than $3.9 million in the facility over the next five years and plans to hire 32 full-time employees.
Richard Mitchell, president of A&R Logistics, Inc. said, “After years of significant growth, A&R Logistics, Inc.’s current 80,000-square-foot warehouse and trucking facility in Jeffersonville, is simply too small to meet our projected future development. We were happy to find another location in Jeffersonville and are looking forward to moving to the River Ridge Commerce facility, which will be double the size of our current space.”
Jerry Acy, executive director of the River Ridge Commerce Center, said, “River Ridge is glad to be getting a new tenant, adding to the diversity of the commerce here. Having a new facility under construction is indicative of the growing success of the River Ridge Commerce Center and the attractiveness of our area.”
The Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) offered A&R Logistics, Inc. up to $300,000 in Economic Development for a Growing Economy (“EDGE”) conditional tax credits based on the company’s job creation plans. These tax credits are performance-based, meaning until Hoosiers are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives.
Founded in 1969, A&R is a leading provider of dry bulk transportation, warehousing, packaging, distribution and third-party logistics solutions for numerous multinational companies within the chemical and plastic industries.
A&R corporate headquarters are in Louisville.
