HRK will develop a new distribution centre for their fertilizer and bulk import customers in central Florida and will use the services of Logistec at Port Manatee. “Logistec is proud to have been selected as partner to HRK in providing cargo-handling services at this strategically-located port facility. This new customer allows us to expand the scope of products handled and will form the base for new bulk business in Port Manatee,” said Madeleine Paquin, President and CEO of Logistec Corporation. This service is expected to commence in the spring of 2010.
