Missouri: What Can We Move For You?

  • June 07, 2017

A business needs to be able to get its product to market quickly and efficiently, and Missouri has the infrastructure in place to make that happen. In fact, we are North America’s rail, river, road, pipeline and air crossroads.

Missouri is a booming epicenter of commerce. We can get your goods anywhere in the world via our international airports, extensive river barge infrastructure, or any of the US Class 1 railroads, and Missouri has direct access via rail to ports on every U.S. coast and in Mexico and Canada.

The Show-Me state is home to the confluence of the two largest rivers in North America, the Missouri and Mississippi, and is home to the most northern ice free port on the Mississippi with unrestricted access to the Gulf of Mexico. In fact, Missouri waterways move $4.1 billion in cargo each year.

Our central location allows companies to reach more than 50% of the continental U.S. within one-day’s drive, and most of the rest within two. Additionally, Missouri’s 10,700 miles of pipelines carry nine different commodities, a major asset to area manufacturers.

Missouri is also home to two international airport as well as numerous regional airports, and offers direct, non-stop flights to 73 cities across North America.

With all of these logistical tools at our disposal it is no wonder why companies like Pepsi, Dollar Tree, CVS and more have chosen Missouri as the best place for their distribution centers.

In fact, when American Outdoor Brands decided it was time to expand with a new national distribution center it looked at 85 sites in 10 different states and found Missouri was the best location for its new 500,000 sq. ft. facility.

The question is, what can we move for you?
