National Logistics Services breaks ground on Caledon facility
Working in partnership with Choice Properties and Rice Group, logistics provider National Logistics Services (NLS) recently held a groundbreaking ceremony earlier this month to announce the build of a new state-of-the-art distribution and fulfillment facility at the Choice Caledon Business Park.
"Our new fulfillment centre represents more than just bricks and mortar," said Mark Dienesch, President, National Logistics Services. "It is a testament to our resilience, our commitment to innovation, and our shared vision for the future. With it, we are embracing today's opportunities, preparing for tomorrow's challenges, and ensuring that our company remains a leader in serving our customers and creating lasting impact."
The groundbreaking marks the beginning of construction of the new 624,000‐square‐foot building, equipped with advanced robotics and automation systems. AI-driven order processing, goods to person automated picking systems, and autonomous mobile robots will work collaboratively alongside dedicated operations team members.
This operation is designed to fulfill more than 50 million units annually, and enable NLS to reduce fulfillment times, enhance accuracy, and scale operations.
The fulfillment centre will feature improved energy-efficient systems, and will created more than 300 new jobs in Caledon.
The company says the new build is an important milestone in the company's long history of hard work, innovation, and unrelenting focus on customer service. It demonstrates how NLS is evolving to meet the changing needs of customers and leading in an era where eCommerce and consumer expectations continue to shift at a rapid pace.
