Prime Inc. has announced plans to establish a new Southeastern Regional hub in Spalding County, Georgia. According to a statement released by Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp April 14, Prime will invest more than $160 million in the facility, which will employ more than 50 professional drivers and create more than 120 new full-time jobs.
“Prime, Inc.’s new campus will further add to Georgia’s $107 billion transportation and logistics industry that creates and supports jobs in every corner of our state,” Kemp said. “I want to thank the state and local economic developers who made this great project possible and the company leaders who chose the No. 1 state for business for this exciting new chapter.”
Specializing in refrigerated, flatbed, tanker, hopper, intermodal and logistics transportation services, Prime Inc. operates a fleet of over 7,000 units with more than 8,500 drivers.
“Prime Inc. is thrilled to announce growth of our company with construction of a new terminal campus to be located in Georgia, a state renowned for its strong work ethic, which aligns perfectly with our company’s values of dedication and excellence,” said Robert Low, CEO and founder of Prime Inc.
Prime’s new Southeastern campus will be located at High Falls 16 Business Center near Griffin, Georgia.
“Spalding County’s strategic proximity to many of our top customers enhances our ability to deliver exceptional service, while also being conveniently located for the benefit of our fleet of professional drivers,” Low said. “This new terminal strengthens our commitment to support growth of our associates’ careers while meeting the needs of our customers across the nation.”
In an April 14 social media post, Prime Inc. said the company anticipates the Georgia hub to be comparable in size, capabilities and amenities to its Springfield, Missouri, facility.
“While the full project timeline extends several years and remains subject to change, we are excited for the future of the Georgia terminal as an additional home away from home for our fleet,” the post read.
