Leading automotive aftermarket manufacturer and distributor Highline Warren will create more than 80 jobs drawn from the Elkton community by the end of 2021
Memphis, TN | July 12th, 2021 | For immediate release: Today, Highline Warren, a leading national manufacturer and distributor of automotive products, announced that it opened a new 267,000 square-foot distribution center in Elkton, Maryland.
By the end of 2021, the new facility will bring at least 80 full-time positions sourced from the talented Cecil County community. Highline Warren has seen considerable growth over the past several years, necessitating strategic investment to support its customers in the New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Maryland markets, as well as across the United States.
COO Mike Ziomek states, This distribution center reflects Highline Warren’s commitment to invest in the business to support strong growth and better serve our Northeast customers. We found great partners in Elkton, Maryland, and McConnell Development.
McConnell Development working with Bernardon (architect) and ARCO (design-builder), led the project to design and build the Highline Warren facility. Michael McConnell said, We’re pleased to have successfully delivered the project on schedule despite the challenges of the pandemic, and we’re grateful to the Town of Elkton and Cecil County Economic Development Office for their support and guidance throughout the process.
Since its inception, Highline Warren has brought a unique level of coordination and efficiency through the vertical integration between manufacturing and distribution. Built through strong organic growth and strategic acquisitions of leading legacy companies, Highline Warren has created a substantial North American presence, building a streamlined business to deliver nationwide service of over 400 top national brands, inclusive of our Prime Guard family of products.
Headquartered in Memphis, TN, Highline Warren’s hub-and-spoke model currently features 25 distribution and manufacturing facilities located across North America. The company’s smart strategy and rapid growth are attributed to the experienced team with decades of automotive experience and leadership, led by President & CEO Darcy Curran.
I’m proud of our journey, says CEO Darcy Curran. We’ve built a distinct, comprehensive, coast-to-coast brand to best serve our current and future customers. And our new Elkton distribution center reflects who Highline Warren is and what we do, as well as our mission to be the best to work for, buy from, and sell to.
The state is proud to support Highline Warren and its expansion into Maryland, where dozens of new jobs will soon be available for Cecil County residents, said Maryland Commerce Secretary Kelly M. Schulz. By locating in Maryland, the company will have convenient access to I-95, BWI Airport, and high-tech freight rail connections, allowing it to reach customers across the East Coast and throughout the country with ease.
