In the current climate of food manufacturing and distribution, companies need more than just cold storage. They need a fully integrated and, more importantly, responsive and flexible cold chain solution. At RLS Logistics, a family owned and operated third party logistics provider, we have built a reputation for delivering just that. With over 57 years of experience and a national network of cold storage warehouses and transportation services, our Pittston facility in northeastern PA stands out as a strategic hub for frozen and refrigerated warehousing and distribution.
Strategic Northeast Location for Faster Distribution
Pittston’s geographic location offers a competitive advantage. Situated between major metropolitan areas like New York City and Philadelphia, and within a few hours’ drive of the Port of New York and New Jersey, Pittston is an ideal distribution point for domestic food shipments. Customers benefit from its proximity to key intermodal connections, including highways, rail lines, and international airports, making it one of the most accessible cold chain entry points into the Northeast. As demand for rapid and efficient delivery continues to rise, being near such a hub helps food manufacturers and importers move products according to their timelines.
Direct Access to RLS’s Integrated Transportation Network
What sets our facilities apart is not just the location, but the direct connection to our robust, nationwide transportation network. By storing product in Pittston, shippers tap into an integrated cold chain system that includes less than truckload and full truckload shipping all powered by state of the art logistics technology. Our Cold Chain Experts also provide e-commerce fulfillment and value added services, including pick and pack, labeling, and kitting. Our Team of Certified Transportation Brokers (CTB) provides customers with load sharing freight savings opportunities with our Managed Transportation Solutions. The Pittston location also offers customers with Walmart pool consolidation solutions, beating OTIF requirements. With these capabilities in place, customers can store and distribute temperature controlled products more efficiently, all through one trusted partner.
Certified Food Safety You Can Rely On
Food safety is another major differentiator for RLS. Our Pittston facility is BRCGS-certified, holding the highest “AA” rating under the British Retail Consortium Global Standard recognized globally as a benchmark in food safety and risk management. This commitment ensures customers have complete confidence in how their products are handled and stored at our facilities. Our customers work hard to build their brands, and we commit to protect their brands with a food safety mindset.
National Scale with Family Owned Flexibility
RLS also brings the strength of national reach with the care and flexibility of a family owned business. While many competitors offer scale, RLS pairs that with personalized service, responsive communication, and the ability to adapt quickly to client needs. For food manufacturers, importers, and shippers looking to streamline their cold chain operations, RLS Pittston, PA, represents an ideal locale for distribution. With the power of RLS Logistics team members, technology, and ease of doing business, it becomes a strategic launchpad supported by industry leading food safety practices, real time logistics technology, and a transportation network built for speed and scalability.
