“This move to Ohio represents more than a geographic expansion — it’s a commitment to serve our East Coast customers with greater speed, sustainability, and freshness. At Azure, we believe that food is foundational to health. That belief drives everything we do—from how we farm to how we distribute. This new location brings us closer to the people we serve and strengthens our ability to steward healthy living from the soil to the table.”

Why Ohio?

Food and agribusiness is one of the largest industries in Ohio, boasting hundreds of companies that cultivate, process, package, distribute, and market food and drinks enjoyed by consumers around the world. The project allows Azure Standard to better serve its growing customer base by providing a new distribution point ideally located for transporting products to the eastern half of the United States more efficiently. The company’s move into the Spec 13 building in South Point, Ohio,  makes it easier for Azure to set up operations and go to market quickly. At Spec 13, the company plans to add 20,000 square feet of cold storage and 2,000 square feet of office space, additionally building 14 greenhouses at the location for produce. The investment includes buildout for the 60,000 square foot building with refrigeration system, racking, and conveyors.
