Creating the Most Comprehensive Resin Handling Operation on the East Coast
More Plastic Manufacturers Join Us as Plastic Express Expands

For several years the Raritan Central has worked with partner Plastic Express to develop the Raritan Center Business Park into the premiere location in the Northeast for the transloading, packaging, and distribution of resins. This summer the importance of Raritan Center to the plastics industry will grow even further as more of the world’s leading manufacturers are added to the list of shippers utilizing our operations. To help accommodate the increased business, Plastic Express will be expanding to two new facilities within the park: 174 Northfield Avenue and the brand new 100 Blue Heron Way. Together with its existing facility, this will give Plastic Express over 250,000 s/f of transloading, packaging, and warehouse space from which to serve customers. Combined with our extensive car storage capacity and easy access to the Port of New York and New Jersey for import/export shipments, we will be able to handle even the largest shipments with ease.

The addition of one of the world’s largest wholesale plastic resins manufacturer and distributor as a client prompted Plastic Express to lease the new 94,000 s/f 100 Blue Heron building adjacent to our classification yard. This facility will handle packaging, warehousing, and distribution services for a wide variety of products. The Raritan Central will also be able to add at least five carspots and a rail scale to help with any future expansion.

At Northfield Avenue Plastic Express will be opening a 41,000 s/f operation dedicated to transloading and packaging PVC. This separate facility with its own bagging line and warehouse will ensure that strict non-contamination requirements needed for handling PVC are met. A new customer has already started using this facility. The Raritan Central upgraded the sidings in the area to handle the increased rail traffic.
