New Jersey’s strategic location—halfway between Boston and Washington, D.C.—
means overnight delivery to more than 100 million consumers who purchase
$2 trillion in goods and services annually.
“New Jersey’s strategic location allows us to
distribute our product across the U.S. and
around the World, easily, by virtue of its superior
transportation network; including roadways, a
major seaport and two international airports.”
Heidi Manheimer, CEO
Shiseido Cosmetics America
Although companies locate in New Jersey for many reasons, the ability to ship goods to
market quickly and efficiently is especially crucial. The state was recently ranked #1 in
the country for transportation, warehousing and highway connectivity and #2 for railroad
service. * New Jersey also has the largest port complex on the eastern seaboard with facilities
in Newark and Elizabeth, supplemented by major ports on the Delaware River. These ports
handle more than 620 million tons of freight, valued at over $850 billion annually. And,
with two major airports—Newark Liberty and Atlantic City International—New Jersey
serves as an intermodal gateway for trade across the country and around the world.
As the third largest industrial real estate market in the country (with nearly 800 million
square feet of space), New Jersey offers a wide range of choices. The state has more than
23,000 establishments devoted to warehousing, logistics and distribution; 3,000 warehouse
facilities have ceiling heights over 20 feet.
A number of major firms that store and move their products, as well as the thousands
of logistics firms that serve them, are located in New Jersey. Contact us at 866-534-7789,

New Jersey is the right place for your business.
