Why did we choose New Jersey? Where the facility is located was important. It’s a logistics hub, connected to four major highways, close to two major metro areas — and it’s close to all our major suppliers. In addition to the location, we were fortunate enough to have rail access. We are shipping finished goods and receiving raw materials by rail.”
