Hanson Logistics network includes customer-centric production warehouses and market-centric distribution facilities. Our production warehouses are designed for grower and processor blast freezing and storage support in this robust agricultural area; our distribution centers, however, are high-throughput springboards to key markets throughout the US. Hanson facilities offer 43 million cubic feet of frozen, deep-frozen, refrigerated and general merchandise warehousing. Our location east of Chicago sprawl translates to better transit times, while several of our distribution facilities share a proximity that offers our clients the benefit of overflow space to meet unplanned storage needs.
