Goodman Industrial Center Murray Hill, owned and managed by Goodman Group, noted that its prime Meadowlands location in Bergen County is within 18 miles of New York City and has close proximity to multiple international airports.
“With the growing demand for our logistics services in the U.S., driven by the expansion of our international customers, we made the decision to partner with Goodman Group with a 10-year lease,” OmLog CEO Marco Palazzi, said. “The decision to work with Goodman was heavily based on our previous positive relationship in Asia. While OmLog has been outgrowing facilities year after year due to demand, Goodman has been a trusted partner in providing facilities that can handle our capacity in strategic locations within close proximity to our customer base.”
