Business will lease largest vacant building in Berlin.

 

Fosdick Fulfillment, a prominent national direct to customer fulfillment company headquartered in Wallingford, has leased a 250,000 square foot building at 129 Worthington Ridge in Berlin. Fosdick has shipped over 3.75 billion packages since it was founded in Connecticut nearly a half a century ago. The company is expected to employ 100 people at the Berlin location when it is in full operation in May.

Fosdick President Bill Pappas stated that, “I am looking forward to completing the move into Berlin over the next several months. Berlin is a great location convenient to both the highway network and to a strong labor force. The building is a high quality distribution facility that will help us better serve our growing customer base.”

“I welcome Fosdick to Berlin. This was the largest vacant building in Berlin so it is great to have it occupied again," said Berlin Mayor Adam Salina said. "Fosdick has long been a major Connecticut employer so we are pleased that they chose Berlin to meet their current space requirement. I said often at the end of last year that 2012 would be a prosperous year for Berlin. Fosdick’s announcement comes on the heels of the recent purchase of a 60,000+ square foot building on New Park Drive in Berlin by OKAY Industries of New Britain and the opening of the Schaller Subaru facility on Frontage Road. In a short time we have also been awarded a $500,000 Brownfield Grant, a $500,000 STEAP Grant, and introduced the renovation of the KGS Building. This has been an outstanding beginning to the year with more announcements on the way.”
