A . Duie Pyle opens up second New York City-area facility

Earlier this month, Westchester, Penn.-based freight transportation and supply chain services provider A. Duie Pyle opened up a New York City area-based facility.

Company officials said that this new facility is strategically positioned to efficiently service the most significant and demanding consumer population in the U.S., adding that Pyle also has plans to expand the campus to further accommodate growth in New York City. 

The new facility’s address is 58-60 Page Place, Maspeth, NY 11378, which is in close proximity to the Maspeth community of the Queens borough, with the facility extending access to Pyle’s LTL services and comprised of 77 LTL service center doors with an on-site fleet maintenance shop, enhancing its ability to service more customers in the New York metropolitan area.  The company added that following its opening, the facility added 25 drivers, 12 dock workers and eight leaders, with plans to have the facility fully staffed by the end of 2024, adding 49 additional jobs that would bring the total number of employees to 94.  

“This strategic expansion into Queens allows us to significantly enhance our service offerings in the busiest region of the U.S. supply chain and maintain our commitment to providing first-rate solutions for our customers,” said John Luciani, COO of LTL Solutions, in a statement. “By increasing our network capacity in the New York metropolitan area, we can not only better service our customers, but also fuel local economic growth by boosting job opportunities. We’re one of the few carriers in the industry that services New York City direct, and this further strengthens our network.” 

This is not Pyle’s first expansion into the New York area. In January 2018, the company opened up a new transportation service center in Bronx, New York, in a move focused on augmenting its Northeast network and boost its morning delivery and pickup operations in metropolitan New York and Long Island.

Pyle officials explained that opening a second service center in the New York metropolitan area allows the company to offer earlier deliveries and later pickups, and also increase flexibility for customers.

“Placing service centers within the New York City boroughs enhances efficiency and equips Pyle with the agility to respond quickly to customers’ changing requirements,” the company said. “The expansion not only facilitates access to new market opportunities but also reinforces Pyle’s presence in the region.”
