Arkansas Tomato Shippers Opens New Arizona Facility
NOGALES, AZ -- October 5, 2005

Arkansas Tomato Shippers announces the opening of their new 26,000 square foot warehouse in Nogales.  Outgrowing their previous location, Arkansas Tomato Shippers sought out a facility in a more convenient location that offered increased truck parking, cooler space, dry storage, and dock doors for ease of loading and unloading.

The new facility offers the same quality inspection processes customers have grown to expect from Arkansas Tomato Shippers as well as broader cross-docking capabilities, repacking, and ripening services.  The facility also has increased refrigeration capabilities with a 32 load capacity.  In addition to flexible hours of operation, there is a lounge for drivers to utilize.

“We are very proud with the growth we have experienced in recent years which led to the need for a new facility.  We are excited about the benefits this brings our customers as our capacity and services have been expanded significantly” said Brooks Lisenbey, Sales Manager.
