STG's Chicago Facility to Expand and Become Its Regional Headquarters

A business leader in the logistics sphere, Chris Jamroz is the executive chairman of St. George Logistics (STG Logistics), which offers a comprehensive range of container freight station services. In September 2017, Chris Jamroz’s company announced plans to expand its logistics center in Elk Grove Village, near Chicago. The new facility is expected to be completed in the first half of 2018 and will become the company's new regional headquarters.

Undertaken in tandem with the real estate development firm Hamilton Partners, the 250,000-square-foot distribution space at 875 Devon Avenue will be significantly upgraded to increase efficiency and processing capacities. In addition, the STG Logistics facilities will include new corporate offices that meet the needs of both current executives and those assuming newly created leadership positions. 

The upgrade is also designed to decrease wait times for truckers and boost the number of street access routes. A new truckers’ lounge will feature a self-service market and televisions. The move by STG reflects both a long-term commitment to bolstering its presence in one of America’s most rapidly growing logistics markets and promises to create new industry employment opportunities.

St. George Logistics and AZ Corporation Merger Creates Major Synergies

Chris Jamroz is a longtime logistics executive who serves as CEO of STG Holdings, LLC, in New Jersey. Having been acquired by the venture equity firm Wind Point Partners, Chris Jamroz’s company guides St. George Logistics and acquired AZ Corporation, a leading New Jersey-based container freight station (CFS) solutions provider. 

With STG long known as North America’s leading import-oriented CFS provider and AZ occupying the same position on the export side, the merged entity is one that encompasses 4 million square feet of space across two dozen inland and port facilities. Its extended network includes 80 US partner facilities, with approximately 1,100 logistics workers providing highly integrated services such as value-added warehousing.

As Mr. Jamroz noted, the merger enables coordinated technology automation and a renewed focus on physical and infrastructure upgrades within an industry that has been neglected within the broader supply chain. In addition to warehousing, the combined firms have extensive transportation and distribution capacities that help ensure that clients receive turnkey third-party solutions.
