MURRIETA, CA & LOGAN TOWNSHIP, NJ - Last week was full of excitement for West Pak Avocado, as the supplier officially opened its newest distribution center. Located in Logan Township, New Jersey, the facility hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house on May 25.

“We are honored to have our esteemed guests with us today to commemorate the official opening of our newest facility. We look forward to a long and prosperous relationship with the county of Gloucester and the great state of New Jersey,” said Chief Executive Officer Mario Pacheco.

At the event, Assemblywoman Beth Sawyer presented West Pak with a Joint Legislative Commendation on behalf of the state of New Jersey. She and Commissioner Chris Konawel participated in the ribbon-cutting with Pacheco and Vice President of Operations Trevor Newhouse.

“I would also like to thank Trevor Newhouse and his team for spearheading the project and taking our new distribution center from concept to reality,” Pacheco continued. “This modern facility features state-of-the-art information and technology systems connectivity, LED lighting, energy-efficient refrigeration, and so much more. Also, the design fits into our ongoing company-wide sustainability efforts to help keep our carbon footprint at a minimum.”

According to a press release, the Logan Township location was built to service wholesale, retail, and foodservice customers in the Northeast and Midsouth regions of the United States. This full-service facility provides ripening, bagging, repacking, and cold storage.

The distribution center is strategically located in a way that adds value to West Pak’s operations while increasing its national reach. Supply chain efficiencies will also be improved in support of import programs from Peru, Chile, and Colombia as well as direct shipments from West Pak’s packing facility in Uruapan, Michoacán.

Cheers to the opening of this exciting new facility! We can’t wait to see what West Pak does next.
