CORE X CROWN welcomed Gov. Mike Braun and local officials for a tour of its new facility in Crown Point.
The 215,000-square-foot cold storage and logistics facility marks a major Midwest investment for the New Jersey-based company.
“Opening CORE X CROWN is an exciting milestone for our mission of expanding this region’s place in the cold storage and logistics industry, and it was an honor to showcase this development to our local community leaders,” said Thom Smith, CORE X CROWN and CORE X Hutt president and regional partner, in a press release. “Northwest Indiana and Crown Point have been fantastic partners and we couldn’t be more proud to move forward in helping customers and communities alike.”
CORE X Partners has built a nationwide cold chain network with local operators supported by a centralized team. The new CORE X CROWN facility in Crown Point expands the network’s coverage.
CORE X CROWN officially began operations with its first deliveries in December 2024. The development brings an economic impact to the Region. The full capital investment amount is anticipated to be over $79 million. The company expects to bring nearly 75 additional jobs to the community.
CORE X Partners is also partnering with the Northwest Indiana Food Bank. CORE X Partners is planning to redistribute excess food to minimize food waste and combat food insecurity in the community.
“Our efforts are rooted in the communities we serve, even beyond the family business legacies we work to maintain for years to come,” Smith said. “Facilities like CORE X CROWN allow for continued growth of that mission, and a deeper connection with communities like Northwest Indiana.”
