CJ Logistics America, a supply chain and technology company, last week broke ground on a new logistics center in Elwood, Illinois. Expected to open in the first half of 2026, the building will be CJ Logistics America’s second distribution center in Elwood.

The facility will span 1.1 million square feet and feature advanced automation technologies to increase efficiency for the company and its customers, CJ Logistics officials said in a press release.

A major advantage of the warehouse is its central location and ease of access to key logistics infrastructure, including BNSF Railway Co. and Union Pacific Railroad lines, they said.

The new building's development is part of a broader agreement that CJ Logistics announced last year with the Korea Ocean Business Corp., a partnership established to deepen economic ties between the United States and South Korea.
