As we integrate into this beautiful city, we look forward to forging strong partnerships, contributing to the local economy and becoming an integral part of the Charleston community.

“Together, we are poised to embark on an exciting journey of mutual growth and success.”

IronLink, a leading third-party logistics (3PL) provider, offers a comprehensive range of transportation, warehousing, and distribution services to a diverse customer base of industries and product sectors, the release stated. The company handles various aspects of the supply chain, including inventory management, order fulfillment, and freight transportation from port and outbound freight worldwide.

“Ironlink Logistics’ presence will boost economic growth and enhance the efficiency of our logistics network,” Charleston County Council Chairman Herbert Ravenel Sass III said in the release. “With 250 new jobs on the horizon, IronLink's investment is set to have a transformative impact on the supply chain in Charleston County, solidifying our reputation as a hub for innovation and advancement.”
