ODW Logistics, a rapidly expanding national third-party (3PL) specializing in integrated logistics solutions, announced a new 930,000 square foot facility in Columbus, OH. Located at 6920 Schieser Farms Rd E, Lockbourne, OH 43137, this cutting-edge distribution center is set to open its doors in mid-June 2024, with both new and existing clients already lined up to utilize its services. Strategically positioned just five minutes away from Rickenbacker International Airport (LCK), the primary port for all goods flowing into Columbus, Ohio, this food-grade facility will be pivotal in bolstering ODW Logistics’ retail consolidation services in central, Ohio.

This marks the second building on ODW Logistics’ new Central Ohio Distribution Campus, resulting in ODW having 5 million square feet of warehouse space in central Ohio. Nationally, ODW has 32 facilities and 9 million square feet of space.

“The warehouse environment that ODW is creating is meant to provide a higher level of service to clients that are looking for a leading 3PL provider,” said John R. Ness, CEO of ODW Logistics. “This campus represents growth, and this is the second building in the newly designed and developed Midwest regional campus, of which we recently rolled out our 540,000 square foot building that is already fully operational.”

This latest distribution complex will eventually comprise four DCs, forming a centralized hub of modern warehouses to oversee various clients and their omnichannel fulfillment needs. This is the second facility on the campus and is outfitted to provide freight consolidation services, onsite management, quality assurance, offices for continuous improvement, human resources, and onsite IT support for its clientele.

“These buildings are class A facilities that can support multiclient tenants to help them grow and scale their business,” said Jeff Clark, EVP of ODW Logistics. “We provide our clients with distribution and fulfillment, omnichannel, value-added services, and retail consolidation resources, and this new facility will further solidify those efforts.”

Hub International announces strategic partnership with Mas Seguros to expand transportation cross-border capabilities

Chicago, IL, October 1, 2024 - Hub International Limited (HUB), a leading global insurance brokerage and financial services firm, announced today an exclusive referral and broker program partnership throughout the U.S., Canada and Mexico with MAS Seguros, the largest trucking insurance broker in Mexico. The partnership is a response to Mexico’s growing influence in the global economy and a reflection of HUB’s and MAS Seguros’ commitment to expanding its capabilities to better serve clients doing business throughout North America.

Due to changing global political relationships and policies*, there has been a significant move for manufacturing operations to Mexico, which comes with increased risk and insurance challenges when transporting goods cross-border. Organizations face regulatory compliance issues, crime, product damage, catastrophic weather events and accidents. Additionally, more transportation firms from Mexico are moving to the U.S. As a result, there is an emerging transportation and logistics need to manage risk and insure freight, property and assets while transporting goods into Mexico for manufacturing and then back to the U.S. and Canada.
