Direct Warehousing expands its Texas footprint with a new Arlington facility while extending operations and staffing growth in Algonquin, Illinois.
Algonquin, Illinois, United States, November 6, 2026 -- Direct Warehousing, a third-party logistics company, is expanding its operational footprint with a new facility in Arlington, Texas. The move follows increased activity among existing customers and new accounts seeking food-grade warehousing. The expansion also extends to its Algonquin, Illinois, operation, bringing further development across its Texas and Midwest locations.
The expansion comes as U.S. warehousing and third-party logistics providers respond to changing transportation patterns. The broader warehousing and 3PL sectors have also seen increased activity nationwide. Shifts involving ports and rail networks have affected the timing and volume of goods entering domestic supply chains, as some customers manage larger arrivals. Commenting on the development, Bob Boldog Jr, president and CEO of Direct Warehousing, says, “The Arlington facility will add room to coordinate receiving, unloading, storage, and transfers as volumes develop.”
As a third-party logistics provider, Direct Warehousing handles shipping and receiving, transportation coordination, inventory management, fulfillment, and supply chain support. Its facilities accommodate products with differing storage and handling requirements, including food-grade goods and medical-grade gloves and personal protective equipment. The latest expansion reflects activity across these operations and requests for additional warehouse capacity in Texas.
In terms of its Texas operations, the business follows a mid-tier pricing structure that takes into account a range of customer requirements. Its operational arrangements also include warehouse management system integrations for customers seeking to connect their software with Direct Warehousing’s systems. These integrations support the exchange of inventory and order information, with configurations established according to individual account requirements.
A previous customer engagement illustrates the company’s handling of specialized requirements. A Japanese supplier of food-grade film shipping goods from Rhode Island to the Midwest worked with Direct Warehousing to arrange on-site repairs for damaged skid end boards, reducing the need to return them to the original location.
“Understanding the specific handling requirements of each product helps inform practical operational decisions,” Boldog states. “The skid repair arrangement is one example of how we work with customers to address requirements within their supply chains.”
Similar operational considerations are relevant to the Arlington expansion, particularly as container activity changes across port and rail networks. Some customers receive multiple containers within short periods, requiring coordination across unloading, staging, and reloading into outbound trailers. The additional facility space will accommodate these requirements for new and existing accounts. Food-grade storage and the handling of medical-grade gloves and other protective equipment also form part of the product categories involved in the business’s operations.
Alongside the Texas development, continued expansion is taking place at the Algonquin, Illinois, facility, which serves the Chicago metropolitan area and surrounding Midwest markets. Activity across both locations reflects changing customer requirements and the addition of new product lines, bringing corresponding adjustments to facility operations and workforce planning.
These developments have also influenced staffing across the Texas and Illinois operations, with additional employees joining to support current activity and anticipated customer demand. Further workforce growth is being planned as existing customers project increased volumes across their product lines. The staffing adjustments account for the operational requirements associated with receiving, unloading, inventory handling, and preparing goods for subsequent transportation, as well as the introduction of new accounts and product categories.
“Adding space also brings responsibility for the people and processes involved in each movement,” Boldog remarks. “Our teams prepare for the products they handle, the schedules customers work to, and the procedures required at each facility. Staffing plans are being developed alongside changes in customer volume.”
Beyond the current developments in Texas and Illinois, longer-term facility planning includes a potential Atlanta location. This proposed addition forms part of the business’s geographic expansion plans. Direct Warehousing also anticipates continued demand for U.S. warehousing and logistics infrastructure over the coming years, as businesses assess domestic manufacturing, inventory placement, and movements through ports and rail networks.
