J.G. Petrucci and L&R Distributors Announce Ground-Breaking in Monroe Township

On Oct 6, 2016

L&R Distributors recently contracted J.G. Petrucci Company, Inc. to complete the design/build development of a state-of-the-art warehousing facility to be located at 11 Engelhard Drive in Monroe Township. L&R is confident the brand new facility will create a more streamlined and efficient distribution experience by enabling the company to run all of its operations under one roof, condensing the company’s two separate Northeast warehousing centers into a single, full-scale distribution center. In addition, L&R Distributors operates multiple distribution centers in both Pine Bluff, Arkansas and Rancho Cucamonga, California.

The October 13th groundbreaking will begin the construction of the new +130,000 square-foot, 36-foot high facility, situated on 8.7 acres of land. The facility is located at Exit A, a few clicks from the New Jersey Turnpike and roughly 40 miles from New York City. The move is expected to create 40 to 50 construction jobs between all trades. Once running, the new facility will create 80 to 100 full time jobs in warehousing operations.

“A cutting-edge, distribution, innovation and training center delivers on our commitment to be designers of the ultimate shopping experience,” said Marc Bodner, CEO of L&R Distributors. “The new technology will expedite orders to our clients and provide an aisle-ready delivery to the stores we service.”

Mitchell Katz and Bryan Lee of Newmark Grubb Knight Frank represented L&R Distributors in the transaction, while Joel Lubin of Jones Lang LaSalle, represented the J.G. Petrucci Company.
