Arizona Ice Tea to Open a New Bottling Plant in Raritan Center
The Raritan Central Railway is pleased to welcome our newest rail customer at the Raritan Center Business Park in Edison - Arizona Ice Tea, the country's number 1 ready-to-drink tea company.
Arizona Ice Tea recently bought the 470,000 s/f building at 30 Clearview Avenue. The building is in the process of being converted into a bottling and distribution facility for their Northeast operations. Once the facility is fully operational, the Raritan Central will be delivering carloads of corn syrup used in the bottling process via a rebuilt siding adjacent to the building.
We look forward to being able to fully meet the rail switching and logistics needs of Arizona Ice Tea and hope to be able to help them grow their operations in the future.

New Food Grade Transloading
The Raritan Center Business Park and Heller Industrial Park's diverse and complete grouping of 3PL services have expanded yet again with addition of international food grade transloading. At the 95,000 s/f, 100 Blue Heron building the Raritan Central has started to transload food grade products from 1 ton supersacs into railcars. The supersacs arrive from Europe in containers. After passing through the Port of New York and New Jersey, they are trucked to Raritan Center. The shipments are then transloaded and forwarded to a Fortune 100 company in the Midwest.
To handle the operation a new switch and siding was constructed in January 2010, along the length of the building. The siding will provide the carspots needed to help grow the business.
