We are proud to support Americold Logistics, LLC. with their expansion in New Brunswick at the Port Saint John! This is a significant step to improve market access for New Brunswick's exporting companies and will increase the Port’s capacity to accommodate growing shipping volumes, making it Atlantic Canada's largest port by volume. ONB is pleased to have supported this project with a payroll rebate of up to $1.01 million to assist with the creation of up to 100 new jobs. This investment will generate millions of dollars in economic spin off, enhancing prosperity and creating opportunities for the community.
Today we’ve announced plans to develop our first Import-Export Hub in Canada at Port Saint John in New Brunswick. This facility will be the first-of-its-kind globally to bring together our warehouse solutions with the maritime logistics capabilities of DP World and the rail logistics solutions of Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC). George Chappelle, our CEO, shares “Port Saint John has been the beneficiary of significant investments in recent years from both DP World and CPKC, and the infrastructure they have built has attracted major global shipping lines to this location. We are confident the opportunity for Americold to bring world class cold storage and value-added services to the Port – and to enhance food flows primarily between Central and Eastern Canada and Europe, South America and the APAC region – represents an attractive path to long-term value creation for both our customers and our shareholders.” This facility will connect Americold with two of its key strategic partners, DP World and CPKC, in one location to provide a more optimized cold chain for food moving between Canada and its global trading partners. 🌐 Learn more about Americold’s plan for our first Import-Export Hub in Canada through our strategic partnership with DP World and CPKC in our newest press release: https://lnkd.in/gnHHQi2P
