The Patton Logistics Group has added 3 new facilities in the past month to its portfolio in Lewisburg, Milton and Hazleton, PA. Patton now operates 28 separate warehouses employing over 300 people in the Patton Warehousing and Logistics division of their company in the states of PA, NJ, OH, VA and NC. The new facilities will add 50 to 70 jobs and create additional transportation jobs for their trucking division, Watsontown Trucking Company. Once these new facilities are fully operational, The Patton Logistics Group will be managing 5,000,000 sq. ft. of warehouse space and operating a fleet of 500 trucks and 1,500 trailers.
One of the new buildings is situated in the esteemed Humboldt Industrial Park in Hazle Township, PA.

This property will allow us to transfer specific operations from existing properties and open space for other immediate business opportunities.”
