warehouse space. Designed to maximize efficiency and safety, the new facility

a secured yard, surveillance systems to monitor interior and exterior premises,
and site access cards with Card Reader Technology for employees. Other
components include: security cages for high-value cargo; bonded container
freight stations to handle imports prior to U.S. Customs clearances; and an
