Plantgistix to open second packaging plant in Baytown
February 10, 2019
Plantgistix, a Houston-based plastic resin logistics company, has announced its intentions to expand to a second facility in the AmeriPort Industrial Park in Baytown. The announcement comes just one year after the grand opening of their Baytown facility on 717 Logistics Drive and reflects the company’s growth and demand for export contract packaging.
The new site, located at 5623 AmeriPort Parkway, will enhance Plantgistix’s services with an additional 337,000 sq. ft. packaging plant.
The new Baytown facility will be equipped with two new state of the art packaging lines, boxing and bagging, along with 84 dock doors, over 3,000 feet of private rail spurs, and daily switching services for rail cars serviced by both Union Pacific Railroad and BNSF Railway.
“The new facility will boost our inbound hopper car capacity by at least 250-300 cars per month,” said Marc Levine, Plantgistix’s CEO.
Set to open by March 1 and fully operational before the end of the second quarter, the new facility will be Plantgistix’s third facility; the main warehouse in Houston and two in Baytown, bringing Plantgistix total warehouse square footage to over 1.3 million.
