MTC to cool down Port of Mobile

MOBILE, Ala. - MTC Logistics is erecting steel for its International Distribution Center refrigerated cargo facility at the Port of Mobile. MTC is investing about $61M at the port. “The feedback from the processors in the Southeast and our international import customers has been extremely positive,” said Andy Janson, president of MTC Logistics. “Mostly we hear, ‘Hurry up and open!’.” When completed, the facility will provide shippers with seamless supply chain solutions focused on global commerce.  MTC provides shippers a comprehensive suite of services, including blast freezing, port drayage and LTL consolidation. MTC will expand the seaport’s blast freeze capability by accommodating 30 truckloads per day and providing 40,000 racked pallet positions of storage. The distribution center will be one of the largest in the Southeast. The facility is scheduled to open in early 2021. MTC Logistics is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hoffberger Holdings Inc., a diversified privately held investment company of the Hoffberger family of Baltimore, Md.
