FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: NRS Logistics Announces Plans to Build Semiconductor Chemical, Gas Distribution and Warehouse Facility in Casa Grande.
The company’s first distribution facility in North America will create 90 new jobs.
CASA GRANDE, AZ (August 7, 2023) – NRS Logistics America, a leading chemical-logistics company providing transport, storage and distribution, and asset leasing services for the chemical and industrial markets, announced Monday plans to build a semiconductor chemical and gas products distribution and storage facility in Casa Grande, Arizona. The first phase of the facility is expected to be operational in Q4 2024, creating up to 30 jobs initially and over 90 new jobs once fully operational.
Following a recent land acquisition, the facility will be built on 40 acres at the southwest corner of Ethington and Illinois roads, just south of the Maricopa-Casa Grande Highway. Representing a multi-million-dollar capital investment, the first phase will include 69,000-square-feet, which will serve semiconductor and electric vehicle (EV) battery manufacturers and suppliers, and industrial chemical markets. The second phase of expansion will include rail operations.
“With the growing markets in semiconductor manufacturing and EV battery manufacturing, NRS evaluated several other states for our first North American investment,” said Yuichi Sato, President, NRS Logistics America. “Arizona was the best fit for NRS’ expansion, providing proximity to the customer base, port operations in southern California, and excellent value for land investment. The City of Casa Grande has also seen additional growth with several chemical suppliers and was a great fit for NRS to align with the other manufacturers in the area to offer our storage and transportation services.”
The facility will feature temperature-controlled storage for specific hazard classes for flammable, corrosive chemicals, and oxidizers for use in semiconductor chip production and electric vehicle battery manufacturing. In addition, the facility will also accommodate portable bulk tank storage and lift operations.
