MARSHFIELD, WIS. — Dairy, beverage and food processing plant supplier Nelson-Jameson will mark the establishment of its newest distribution center with a grand opening event at the Fairview, Pa., warehouse on Sept. 10. 

Nelson-Jameson acquired the facility late last year and has spent 2025 remodeling the 45,000-square-foot building, which was first constructed in 2004.

The supplier said the distribution center, 12 miles from Erie, Pa., enhances its capabilities and allows it to more efficiently serve customers and partners with operations in the Northeast. Nelson-Jameson’s fifth distribution center is expected to employ up to 20 people full-time and it has 12 bays for transportation and delivery trucks.

The building includes a second floor mezzanine with an additional 16,000 square feet of space, where Nelson-Jameson said it is making significant renovations to enhance functionality, capacity and “the employee experience.”

With the remodel, Nelson-Jameson said key upgrades to the facility include a refreshed exterior and a newly paved parking lots. Renovations within the building called for a new visitor reception area, employee break room, locker room and lavatory. Plus, a new warehouse transition corridor will meet SQF certification standards.

The company noted that the climate-controlled warehouse offers 1.1 million cubic feet of storage capacity with 3,800-plus spaces for pallets. Additionally, the supplier shared that about 8,000 square feet of space will be used in the future for a new service and repair center, noting it is an authorized service provider for strategic suppliers such as Neogen and Alfa Laval, among others.

“Our team couldn’t be more excited to mark Sept. 10 on our calendars and cut the ribbon on the Fairview facility,” Nelson-Jameson president Mike Rindy said. “The new distribution center will be another key building block in delivering exceptional service while prioritizing food safety for our customers and partners in the Northeast and beyond.” 

The company’s grand opening will include facility tours, an art exhibit, a charity fundraising activity and an address on food safety from Cornell University professor Martin Wiedmann.
