The Patton Logistics Group has added three new facilities in the past month to its portfolio in Lewisburg, Milton and Hazleton.

According to a news release, Patton now operates 28 separate warehouses employing over 300 people in the Patton Warehousing and Logistics division of their company in the states of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, Virginia and North Carolina. The new facilities will add 50 to 70 jobs and create additional transportation jobs for their trucking division, Watsontown Trucking Co. Once these new facilities are fully operational, The Patton Logistics Group will be managing 5,000,000 square feet of warehouse space and operating a fleet of 500 trucks and 1,500 trailers.

One of the buildings is the former RR Donnelly building in Lewisburg.

“The 133,000-square-foot location will be used for co-packing, co-manufacturing, simple palleted product storage, fulfillment and more,” said Nick Jaskula, general manager of Patton Warehousing, according to the news release. “This property will allow us to transfer specific operations from existing properties and open space for other immediate business opportunities.”

These strategic additions mark a significant milestone in The Patton Logistics Group’s expansion efforts and solidify the company’s presence in thriving development hubs.

“We continue to experience tremendous growth and are thrilled to bring these three properties into our company,” said Steve Patton, president, according to the news release. “These acquisitions align perfectly with our strategic vision and commitment to delivering exceptional logistics solutions to our clients.”
