Chicagoland is the strongest distribution location in the U.S. The region’s interstates, railways, intermodal sites, airports, and waterways connect our businesses to national and international markets.

The Lincoln Highway Industrial Corridor is one of the few locations in Cook County with large, undeveloped sites and excellent rail and highway access.

The Lincoln Highway Industrial Corridor is an ideal location for my state-of-the-art machinery and fabrication business.
