Location is Everything

Ohio’s central location is the key to optimizing your business.

Driven by its strategic location and world-class infrastructure, Ohio is a premier hub for business. With seamless access to key markets across the Midwest and beyond, we offer unmatched efficiency in moving goods.  

Ohio ranks #1 in effective tax rates for new distribution centers, according to the 2021 Tax Foundation “Location Matters” report, and among the top 5 states for doing business, according to CNBC. Ohio’s central position, multimodal transportation network, and unparalleled supply chain give your business a competitive advantage.

With versatile air, land, and sea freight options and ten foreign trade zones that reduce or eliminate customs fees and provide tariff relief, Ohio leads the Midwest in outbound parcel services with UPS, DHL, FedEx, and USPS. This gives your business stronger shipping flexibility and negotiating power. As a hub for enhanced logistics, Ohio drives innovation in truck platooning, digitally connected vehicles, and unmanned aircraft — all supported by regional cloud infrastructure.
