Sixty employees will move to the new distribution center from two other existing facilities in the Jessup area. According to Paul Schweitzer of Serten Advisors, LLC, who represented Feld Entertainment in the transaction, “The new facility, convenient to the Port and current employees, will allow Feld to utilize state of the art materials handling and processes, which will lead to enhanced product distribution and direct to consumer order fulfillment”.
