HK Logistics has announced it build its new 160,000-sq.-ft distribution center in Griffin, GA, located in Spalding County`s Green Valley Industrial Park. The $30 million investment is expected to create about 70 jobs. Construction has begun, and should be completed by summer 2012.

In addition to providing on-site storage and value-added services, the logistics facility will house office space and various high-density storage systems.

HK Logistics provides critical logistics services such as receiving and supplier validation, warehousing, kitting, subassembly, sequencing of material , and third-party inventory.
