OmniTRAX Inc., a comprehensive logistics solutions provider and affiliate of The Broe Group, is launching additional properties through its Rail-Ready Sites program on the Northern Ohio & Western Railway (NOW) with support from the Sandusky County Economic Development Corporation. The Rail-Ready Sites program connects companies looking to maximize supply chain performance with rail-served properties.

OmniTRAX and the Sandusky County Economic Development Corporation are marketing two sites on the NOW. NOW, which interchanges with Class 1 railroads CSX and Norfolk Southern, currently works with companies in the industrial and manufacturing sectors.

“The attractiveness of Northwest Ohio for manufacturers and others industries starts with very pro-business state and local governments and continues with a first-rate transportation network. Working with the Sandusky County Economic Development Corporation, we’re confident we will bring new jobs and growth to the region,” said Ean Johnson, Vice President of Industrial Development at OmniTRAX.

Beth Hannum, Executive Director of the Sandusky County Economic Development Corporation, said, “Sandusky County has great connectivity for companies locating facilities here, along with a highly trained and trainable workforce and a great work-life balance for employees. Rail is increasingly important to potential developers so the joint promotion of Rail Ready sites with OmniTRAX is very timely.”
