The warehouse will distribute Läderach’s chocolate to all retail stores in the United States, according to a news release. Operations at the new warehouse are projected to start in spring 2023.
Läderach will occupy Alliance Northport 5, AllianceTexas’ emerging industrial sector located in Northlake, adjacent to Texas Motor Speedway. Northlake has become a sought-after destination for industrial end users, such as Walgreens, Crown Equipment, Smart Warehousing and Mainfreight. This sector has some of the lowest combined tax rates in Dallas-Fort Worth with direct access to I-35W and SH 114, according to a Läderach news release.
“We are thrilled to welcome Läderach, one of the world’s best chocolatiers, to AllianceTexas and support their U.S. expansion with this new national distribution center,” said Samuel Rhea, director of industrial leasing at Hillwood, in the release. “Premium products, like chocolate, have some of the highest speed-to-market demands in the food and beverage industry, and with the amenities of AllianceTexas’ unique multimodal logistics platform, we continue to see rapid growth in an industry segment that has a long history within AllianceTexas.”
