Thriving Business Depends on Smooth Operations

Real Estate and Facilities

Penske brings deep expertise to every facet of warehouse and distribution center management, starting with facilities and real estate. The millions of square footage of warehouse space we currently manage give us scale, and our in-house real estate team handles the whole gamut of activity including:

  • Market analysis
  • Site selection and acquisition
  • Build to suit planning
  • Lease negotiation and administration

Once we have committed to a site, our facilities management team takes over. This group of professionals is co-located with our field operations leadership, giving us expert domain knowledge in regional markets. Services include:

  • Vendor selection and procurement
  • Construction management
  • Environmental and regulatory management
  • Sustainable business practices

Labor

As a provider of outsourced logistics services, Penske brings great sensitivity to the situation presented with each business opportunity. The provision of labor is given careful consideration based on multiple factors such as:

  • Operating union or non-union
  • Determining the right mix of permanent and temp labor
  • The overall labor market where the facility will be managed
  • Issues that may impact our customer, based on their current circumstances

With nearly 20,000 associates in our organization today, Penske Logistics is an employer of choice. We place great emphasis on the development of human capital, with a focus on training, development, safety and workforce productivity.

The foundation in driving productivity lies in giving associates a voice in improving processes and in making sure people have the right tools to do their jobs.
