Nelson-Jameson Announces Grand Opening for Pennsylvania Distribution Center

MARSHFIELD, Wisc. — Nelson-Jameson, a distributor in the food processing industry, announced a grand opening of Sept. 10 for its 45,000-square-foot distribution center in Fairview, Pa., located 12 miles from Erie.

The Fairview location is one of the organization’s five distribution centers nationwide. The new facility will hire up to 20 full-time employees.

“Our team couldn’t be more excited to mark Sept. 10 on our calendars and cut the ribbon on the Fairview facility,” said Mike Rindy, president of Nelson-Jameson. “The new distribution center will be another key building block in delivering exceptional service while prioritizing food safety for our customers and partners in the Northeast and beyond.”

The grand opening event for the new distribution center will feature facility tours and an interactive art exhibit guided by artist Lisa Quine of Northeast Ohio. Martin Wiedmann, Cornell University’s Gellert Family Professor in Food Safety, will give an address on food safety, and there will be a charity fundraising activity.

The distribution center, built in 2004 and fully remodeled in 2025, sits on an 8.4-acre lot with an adjacent 20-acre parcel reserved for future expansion. The building’s 45,000-square-foot footprint is complemented by an additional 16,000-square-foot second-floor mezzanine and is undergoing renovations to enhance functionality, capacity and the employee experience.

The facility also features 12 truck bays for its transportation and delivery fleet.

Key upgrades at the center include a refreshed exterior featuring newly paved employee and visitor parking lots. The climate-controlled warehouse will provide 1.1 million cubic feet of storage capacity and accommodate more than 3,800 pallet positions. Approximately 8,000 square feet of space will be allocated in the future for a new service and repair center.

The renovation also includes employee-focused improvements, including a new visitor reception area, employee break room, locker room and lavatory. A new warehouse transition corridor will be designed to meet SQF certification standards.
