(Michigan City, IN) - A vacant warehouse in Michigan City has been repurposed, thanks to a business expansion.

 

Bay Logistics and Martin Transportation Systems have expanded operations at an existing 190,000 square-foot facility on West US 20.

 

The family-owned companies provide transportation and warehouse services. They currently operate a warehouse in Grand Rapids, Michigan with a fleet of over 1,200 semis and 3,000 trailers. They also have facilities in Arizona and Mexico. According to Kurt Cuncannan, Chief Operating Officer of Bay Logistics, MTS recently earned another Supplier of the Year designation by General Motors.

 

“Our new Michigan City operations will serve as a trucking terminal, truck/trailer maintenance shop, and a 180,000 square foot public distribution center,” Cuncannan said. They have rehabbed the Michigan City facility with a new roof, painting, HVAC, lighting, truck docks, and parking lot upgrades.

 

Cuncannan said his company chose Michigan City because of its location along the I-94 corridor. Michigan City’s Economic Development Corporation helped facilitate the deal. “We are honored that the team has added another spot here in Michigan City as part of the company’s extensive portfolio,” said Michigan City Mayor Duane Parry. “Our business landscape and connectivity to Michigan and Chicago continue to pave our way toward more momentum and additional growth.”

 

Bay Logistics currently operates from 6 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday with a team of 10 employees. Cuncannan said that MTS is currently looking to hire additional truck drivers and mechanics.
