He added: “Brenntag’s global supply and distribution network is now fully available to local customers in the tri-state area. The combination of our dedicated employees, innovative supplier base, and strong customer focus will provide our customers with fast response times, efficient low-cost logistics, and expert technical and market support.”

The facility is equipped with the most modern technology to ensure a safe, controlled environment. The redevelopment has been established in collaboration with the Ohio rail development commission, as well as other agencies, and is projected to bring in over 40 new driver, warehouse, and production job opportunities to Lucas County by 2022.
