Nationwide Transport, a rapidly growing transportation and logistics firm, has announced a significant expansion with the establishment of its new headquarters in La Grange, Missouri. The company’s investment of $5.2 million will not only revitalize an existing building but also create 7 new job opportunities in the region. This strategic move underscores Nationwide Transport’s commitment to growth and its dedication to providing comprehensive nationwide transport solutions.
The company is set to transform a 4,800-square-foot facility in La Grange into a state-of-the-art headquarters. This facility will house office personnel, a fully equipped maintenance shop, and ample parking space for Nationwide Transport’s expanding fleet. The fleet includes a diverse range of vehicles, from dry vans for general freight to temperature-controlled trailers essential for transporting sensitive goods.
Missouri Governor Mike Parson highlighted the positive impact of this development, stating, “Nationwide Transport’s presence in La Grange is fantastic news for our northern region. Missouri’s strong business environment, skilled workforce, and excellent infrastructure are key factors in attracting and retaining companies like Nationwide Transport. We are excited to support their future growth and success within our state.”
Nationwide Transport is making significant strides in the transportation industry by focusing on delivering direction, precision, and reliability in every shipment. Specializing in both in-state and cross-country transport, the company handles a diverse array of goods, including dry commodities, temperature-sensitive food items, and pharmaceutical products. Their core mission, “excellence in every direction,” is achieved through a team of highly skilled professionals across all operational roles. Nationwide Transport prides itself on offering customized transportation solutions, meticulously tailored to meet and exceed the unique demands of each client.
Andrew Eisenbeiss, the Owner of Nationwide Transport, expressed his personal connection to the location and his enthusiasm for this new venture. “Being raised in La Grange and having lived here for 38 years, it is an honor to reinvest in Lewis County by establishing Nationwide Transport here,” Eisenbeiss stated. “We are eager for future growth and expansion, which will enable us to continue contributing to the prosperity of the surrounding communities for many years to come.”
The new jobs resulting from Nationwide Transport’s expansion are set to offer wages that are significantly higher than the county average, providing a substantial boost to the local economy and demonstrating the company’s commitment to its employees and the community.
Michelle Hataway, Director of the Department of Economic Development, emphasized the broader impact of the investment: “It’s incredibly rewarding to witness a project of this scale positively transform a smaller community through substantial investment and job creation, especially when it exceeds $5 million. Nationwide Transport is a game-changer for La Grange, playing a crucial role in helping Missourians thrive.”
To celebrate its headquarters opening, Nationwide Transport will host a public event on Tuesday, July 23, 2024, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at 14 Industrial Drive, La Grange. This event will offer an opportunity for the community to learn more about the company and its operations.
This expansion is supported by the Missouri Works program, a state initiative designed to assist companies in expanding their operations and workforce. The program provides access to capital through withholdings or tax credits, facilitating job creation and business growth within Missouri.
