Axios Mobile Assets Corp. announced that it has ordered additional tooling and other assembly equipment to double output capacity at its pallet moulding and assembly facilities. The new capacity is scheduled to come on-stream in the second half of 2016.

The expansion comes in response to rapidly growing demand for the Axios pallet-based logistics solution from producers of perishable foods and other products distributed through the United States cold storage supply chain. Axios pallets and logistics services support food shipments to more than 20 national chain distribution centers in the Midwest and the company is currently expanding its pooling operations into Northeast and Southeast states.
