The Raritan Logistics Center is a true “freight village” providing
companies both large and small access to complete logistical
services in a strategic and secure location. The Raritan Logistics
Center combines multimodal transportation (rail, highway, and
marine), with industry-leading transloading, warehousing, and
packaging services. Its central location in the towns of Edison
and Woodbridge, New Jersey, provides quick and easy access to
major highways, rail lines, and port facilities and supports the
efficient flow of shipments to, from, or through the Northeastern
United States.
The Raritan Logistics Center encompasses the Raritan Center
Business Park and Heller Industrial Park - over 3,050 acres total.
Combined, these parks offer over 25 million square feet of
warehouse, light manufacturing and office space, extensive rail
infrastructure operated by the Raritan Central Railway, and a
private barge terminal.
The combination of specialized logistics services providers,
extensive logistics-oriented infrastructure, and its own “in
house” service-focused short line railroad strategically-located
within the largest consuming market in the US is what sets the
Raritan Logistics Center apart from other facilities. Shippers can
enjoy turnkey services from a single-source provider or employ
multiple companies to better suit their individual needs. In
addition, the Raritan Central Railway will work with you to help
identify the 3PL partner and space best-suited to your needs.
