Last week I visited Continental Terminals NJ in Jersey City, NJ. Here is a link to a photoset taken from the warehouse. Continental is rather large with 5 warehouses in New Jersey, one in Norfolk VA, one in Charleston, SC.
Coffee is received in the primary warehouse and after a staging period is allocated to one of the 5 warehouses. When you consider that they can take a consolidated order of many 1 bag marks, it is remarkable that they can receive an order at 3pm and have it ready to pick up the following day at 1pm.
Besides meeting the people that we work with and seeing how the operation is run, I went with the request to see if we can have cardboard corners used for the shipments of Perdura boxes, so the straps don’t crush the boxes and cause the bricks to loose their seal. They agreed to try it out and our first test run should happen this week.
So here’s a look at a warehouse that you may have done business with, but probably will never go and visit.
