CEVA logistics operates several large facilities at Mount Juliet, Tennessee, including a 1.4 million square foot facility which it operates on behalf of several major technology companies. The company employs more than 1,200 people and is one of the top three employers in Wilson County, where the Mount Juliet facility is based. In September 2019, CEVA Logistics launched a 458,000 square foot ecommerce multi-client center which, today, is completely occupied.
As part of its ongoing expansion plans, specifically in the growing area of omnichannel/ ecommerce the group aims to further expand its presence and workforce in Nashville with the opening of another facility in the same campus in 2021. This new facility is anticipated to be at a size of 500,000 sq ft and employing an additional 500 workers.
