According to OmniTRAX, with this acquisition, the company becomes the exclusive infrastructure partner of the 679-acre industrial park, positioning it as a “key growth partner in the United States’ burgeoning semiconductor and electric vehicle (EV) supply chain sectors.”
Pinal County’s innovation corridor, home to CAZCP, is a designated Arizona mega-economic region due to its concentration of global technology, advanced manufacturing, and distribution companies. The park includes Lucid Motors, Tractor Supply, Wright Asphalt, Triumvirate Environmental, and numerous Tier-1 material suppliers to the semiconductor industry. These businesses, OmniTRAX says, “are crucial to the U.S.’s onshoring and domestic manufacturing efforts in advanced, high-tech industries.” The Casa Grande area also boasts other industry giants such as Kohler, Wal-Mart, and Hexcel Corporation.
“Saint Holdings has been a visionary developer in the valley, and we are excited to help expand CAZCP’s exceptional owner base and grow the region,” said OmniTRAX CEO Dean Piacente. “Jackob Andersen has played a pivotal role in making Pinal County and Casa Grande one of the Southwest region’s premier logistics hubs and OmniTRAX is excited to work with our local and state partners to power the park’s long-term growth and development.”
CAZCP offers rail connections via the Union Pacific (UP) network, as well as multi-modal access to the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, and the Phoenix and Tucson international airports. These connections, OmniTRAX says, “provide an ideal location for companies seeking to streamline their supply chains or power domestic and global expansion.”
“CAZCP’s exceptional location and logistics advantages are unmatched,” said Saint Holdings CEO Jackob Andersen. “OmniTRAX adds valuable infrastructure expertise and industry relationships to a very dynamic park clientele. We are thrilled about the new partnership and look forward to growing the region.”
OmniTRAX operates 28 railroads, serving ports and industrial parks across the country. The CAZCP rail operation marks the seventh major industrial park served by the OmniTRAX rail network.
