Company Profile:

The Piedmont Triad's strategic location, extensive transportation infrastructure and supply-chain support capabilities combine to make the 12-county region a preferred location for logistics and distribution operations. In addition to the ideal East Coast location at the intersection of several major interstates within the region, other logistics and transportation resources significantly facilitate operations in this field.  Third-party logistics companies, major distribution centers and warehouses, and a large concentration of trucking firms in the region also provide support. Ten percent of the region's workforce -- about 60,000 workers -- is employed in the Logistics and Distribution industry.

Key Products:

Working to leverage the identity, resources and future of the Piedmont Triad Region as a world-class business location, the Piedmont Triad Partnership, an award-winning, private, non-profit economic development organization markets the 12-county region domestically and internationally.  The Partnership is committed to advancing logistics and distribution in the region, positioned to offer new, existing and relocating businesses a strong infrastructure, an abundance of skilled workers, supportive leadership and a community of existing support industries to help companies thrive in this global economy.  Within three to five years, the Piedmont Triad Region will be recognized as the fastest growing and most business-friendly global logistics center on the U.S. East Coast.
