Transportation 2024: DEVON C. ANDERS

Since Anders became president of InterChange in 2000, the logistics and industrial land development company’s portfolio has grown to nearly 2 million square feet and 500-plus acres of prime industrial and commercial land. That includes 18 warehouses in the Shenandoah Valley and a cold storage facility in Mount Crawford.

InterChange Group ranked No. 22 on the Global Cold Chain Alliance’s 2023 North American Top 25 list of the largest refrigerated warehousing and logistics providers in Canada, Mexico and the United States, with its temperature-controlled capacity listed  more than 17.6 million cubic feet.

The company hopes to see additional growth once Norfolk International Terminals’ central rail yard is expanded and improvements to the Port of Virginia’s maritime terminals are in place, aiding inland ports.

A certified public accountant with a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Eastern Mennonite University, Anders leads more than 350 employees in the Shenandoah Valley and Portsmouth. Before joining InterChange, he was a controller at Packaging Services and an audit manager at PBMares (then PBGH).

Anders serves on GO Virginia’s Region 8 Council and chairs the Virginia Maritime Association’s Valley Logistics Chapter.
