ID Logistics to invest $83M, create 1,000 jobs in Henrico

The U.S. arm of ID Logistics expects to invest $83 million and create 1,000 jobs at its first Virginia location, a hazardous materials distribution facility in Henrico County, the Henrico Economic Development Authority announced Wednesday.

The company is leasing the I-895 Logistics Center, a 582,000-square-foot distribution facility developed by Ashley Capital at 7011 S. Laburnum Ave. The estimated $83 million investment would be for an upfit of the facility, including racking, material handling equipment, automation and other tenant improvements, according to RJ Droll Wergin, ID Logistics‘ director of sales enablement and communications.

The site will handle hazardous materials, supporting the storage and distribution of regulated retail and direct-to-consumer products, according to a company news release. ID Logistics expects to use the site to serve high-demand retail and direct-to-consumer household essentials, like cleaning and beauty products such as hair dye, hairspray, hand sanitizer and other consumer goods requiring special handling considerations.

The company has filed several permits with the county, including building, mechanical and electrical permits, and anticipates bringing the site online in the third quarter of this year.

“ID Logistics is very pleased to be opening our newest facility in Henrico. … I look forward to partnering with local leadership and your community as a whole to bring fantastic local talent into the ID Logistics family,” Franck Bouny, deputy chief operations officer for ID Logistics US, said in a statement.

ID Logistics Director of Operations Omar Bin Ferdous and Vice President of Operations Jonathan Jackson will lead the site. The company has listed multiple job postings in Henrico on its careers site, including managers of office, operations, safety, maintenance and training positions.

Counting the Henrico facility, ID Logistics US has 56 sites across 20 states. The Virginia location is its third HazMat-focused facility.

“With this new location, we are continuing to invest in the capabilities required to support highly regulated and complex supply chains,” Sherrie Miller, chief strategy officer for ID Logistics US, said in a statement. “HazMat operations demand a deep understanding of the intricacies involved to ensure safety, compliance and operational excellence every second of every day.

“Our ability to rapidly stand up large-scale, technologically advanced sites and partner closely with our customers to meet their evolving needs,” she continued, “is what positions ID Logistics to support their growth in new markets like Virginia.”

“We are thrilled to welcome ID Logistics to Henrico as they establish their first presence in the commonwealth of Virginia,” said Henrico EDA Executive Director Cari Tretina. “While no local incentives were offered to attract the company’s significant investment, our team is fully committed to supporting their success as they operate in our community.”
