Walker SCM proudly announces the expansion of its Long Island,
NY operations through a new project with KONE, a global leader in
the elevator and escalator industry. This collaboration marks a
significant step forward in Walker's commitment to delivering top
notch logistics solutions. As part of this collaboration, Walker
SCM will combine its expertise in warehousing and transportation
with KONE’s industry-leading capabilities to optimize and
contribute to the JFK Airport Terminal 1 Redevelopment project in
Queens, NY.
As part of its Project Logistics services, Walker SCM will
furnish a warehouse facility in Bethpage, New York. This facility
will support KONE’s participation in the renovation project at JFK
Terminal 1 by providing transportation services and material
handling equipment. Walker SCM’s tailored logistics services ensure
compliance with installation timelines and requirements for
oversized loads. The warehouse will store, pre-assemble, and stage
KONE’s products and services. This project is a vital part of JFK’s
$19 billion redevelopment program, emphasizing world-class
amenities, expanded taxiways, and enhanced security. Notably,
Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (MWBE) have received
over $2.3 billion in contracts, and Walker SCM’s involvement
demonstrates its commitment to local economic growth.
“We are excited to announce an expansion to our existing USA
footprint and more specifically our northeast warehousing network,”
said Claudell Germain, Walker SCM’s President and COO. “This
Walker/KONE collaboration is the first of what we anticipate to be
continued growth in our partnership. The project scope itself not
only supports a portion of our core service offerings, but it will
have an even greater impact to the local community and air travel
in the northeast market. We look forward to more projects together
in the future, and have already begun discussions in other
markets.”
The collaboration between Walker SCM and KONE brings together
two industry experts, contributing unique strengths to enhance the
JFK Airport Terminal 1 Redevelopment project. This collaboration
not only advances the goals of both organizations but also
highlights the importance of seamless integration within the
logistics ecosystem.
