Company Need:

BBI Logistics, a freight brokerage firm specializing in handling full truck load shipments, has increased its client base across the country over the past few years and needs to expand. The growth will allow BBI Logistics to seamlessly serve its customers while continuing to scale.

This expansion is essential to accommodate the significant growth we’ve experienced since launching the company three years ago. From the Region’s access to the broader U.S. market to its talented local workforce and strong logistics sector, we’ve been impressed with the many advantages of operating out of Columbus.

Why Ohio?

BBI Logistics plans to expand its headquarters in Central Ohio.

The company cited Ohio’s location and infrastructure as competitive advantages to their operations. Ohio is a well-established base for companies moving goods around the globe, being just a one-day drive from more than 60 percent of U.S. and Canadian populations. Ohio has the fourth largest interstate highway system in the nation, with nearly 7,000 lane miles on eight major routes.
