DuPont James River Logistics Center

DuPont ‘s new warehouse and logistics complex is an 800,000 square foot facility for finished and semi-finished products manufactured at DuPont’s Spruance plant. Products such as Tyvek, Nomex and Kevlar are organized and warehoused at the center before shipment all over the world. The new location represents the consolidation of seven other warehouse sites on Commerce Road, Transport Street and Jefferson Davis Highway and is located on Bellwood Road in the Jefferson-Davis Enterprise Zone. This site will initially house 100 employees.

Devon USA, a commercial developer, owns the 75-acre site and leases it to DuPont. CCW Group Inc., a Greensboro, N.C.-based logistics provider, manages the center through its Richmond-based unit, Cenric Inc.

DuPont, based in Wilmington, Del., is one of the largest employers in the Richmond area with about 3,200 local employees as of Jan. 1, 2002.
