Food processing products distributor Nelson-Jameson purchased a 45,000-square-foot warehouse in Fairview, PA.

The Fairview location will be one of five distribution centers (DC) operated by Nelson-Jameson nationwide, supporting what the company said is its core mission to provide a wide range of products and services. Situated 12 miles from Erie, PA, the new facility is projected to be operational by summer 2025 and will employ up to 20 full-time staff members.

“The new Fairview distribution center reflects our continued investment in the Northeast and our unwavering dedication to supporting our customers’ success,” Nelson-Jameson President Mike Rindy said in a Dec. 20 news release.

The DC is located on an 8.4-acre site, with an additional 20-acre parcel nearby “reserved for future expansion.” The building includes a 16,000-square-foot mezzanine on the second floor and is currently being renovated to improve its functionality.

The facility will feature several upgrades, including newly paved parking lots for employees and visitors, a climate-controlled warehouse and 8,000-square-feet of space dedicated to a new service and repair center. The company said that this expansion will enhance its customer offerings by leveraging its authorized service provider status for Neogen and Alfa Laval.

“These comprehensive improvements reflect Nelson-Jameson’s intent to establish Fairview as a future-ready logistics hub that supports growing operational demands, modern infrastructure, and a seamless experience for employees, visitors, and customers alike,” Rindy added.

This past May, Nelson-Jameson opened new DC in Idaho.
