Nationwide Transport, a transportation company, announced today that it will establish in La Grange, investing $5.2 million and creating 7 new jobs. The company will convert an existing 4,800-square-foot building in La Grange into a headquarters with space for office personnel, a full shop, and parking for its fleet of trucks, dry vans, and temperature-controlled trailers.
“Nationwide Transport’s presence in La Grange is great news for our northern region,” said Governor Mike Parson. “Our ability to offer a thriving business climate, skilled workforce, and superior infrastructure is vital to attracting and retaining businesses like Nationwide Transport, and we look forward to its future growth and success in Missouri.”
Nationwide Transport is an emerging transportation company bringing direction, precision, and reliability to the road. The company is focused on in-state and cross-country shipping of dry goods, temperature-controlled food items and pharmaceutical products. Nationwide Transport is committed to delivering “excellence in every direction” which is made possible through employing exemplary professionals across the organization’s roles. The company is proud to offer customized transportation solutions that are tailored to meet customer needs while exceeding their expectations.
“Being raised in La Grange and having lived here for 38 years, I feel honored to have the opportunity to reinvest in Lewis County through the creation of Nationwide Transport,” said Andrew Eisenbeiss, Owner of Nationwide Transport. “We look forward to future growth and expansion opportunities that will allow us to continue investing in the surrounding communities for years to come.”
New jobs added as part of Nationwide Transport’s expansion will pay an average wage well above the county average.
“It’s always exciting to see a big project impact a small community through investment and job creation, especially when the investment is over $5 million, “ said Michelle Hataway, Director of the Department of Economic Development. “Nationwide Transport is changing the game in La Grange, and helping Missourians prosper.”
Nationwide Transport will be hosting a public event on Tuesday, July 23, 2024, to celebrate the opening of its headquarters. The event will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at its headquarters on 14 Industrial Drive in La Grange.
For this expansion, Nationwide Transport will benefit from the Missouri Works program, a tool that helps companies expand and retain workers by providing access to capital through withholdings or tax credits for job creation.
