Moulton Logistics Management will open a new facility in Berkeley County, South Carolina, investing $25 million and creating 500 jobs over the next five years.

"The addition of the new East Coast facility will provide many benefits for our clients, including the reduction of freight costs and transit times," said Patrick Moulton, head of new business development for Moulton.  "Our new facility in Berkeley County not only allows us to ship across the Atlantic, it also puts us closer to customers on the East Coast."

The new facility of the Los Angeles-based distribution and logistics company is close to the Port of Charleston, the deepest and one of the busiest ports in the Southeast.  Moulton plans to begin hiring by the end of the year.
