"Plans to develop additional space and improved service centers were driven by Panther's continued growth in the region and Panther's desire to give customers a strong local presence," Schneeberger said
The new office, which includes a 65,000 square foot warehouse facility with 10 dock doors will be the company's third office in the greater Los Angeles area since 2009. "This demonstrates Panther's continued desire to provide additional freight forwarding services to customers along the coast," Schneeberger added.
In the past two years, Panther has opened similar service centers in Atlanta, GA, Denver, Co and Kansas City, MO.
David Buss, Vice President of Global Freight Forwarding stated, "Moving to this new space will allow us the opportunity for continued growth, providing enhanced services such as warehousing and consolidation, and it will strengthen local relationships with our clients on the west coast. This is an important step in realizing our goal of being the largest provider of premium logistics services in the Los Angeles market, and the western eleven states as a whole. This office will be a shining example of Panther's continued success expanding beyond our traditional markets."
