Savage Opens Transloading Operation at the Ohio Commerce Center

July 2, 2013

Savage Services now offers bulk material handling and rail transloading services at the Ohio Commerce Center (OCC) in Lordstown OH. The company’s new transload facility opened June 25.

Located in the heart of the Utica Shale Play the OCC is well positioned to serve the area’s oil and gas markets by rail. Savage has extensive experience transloading, managing logistics, and operating rail terminals that handle oil and gas field products.

“We are pleased to offer our services and oil and gas expertise to the OCC’s existing and new customers,” said Ed Ivey, vice-president and business unit leader for Savage. “Transloading services at the OCC will allow oil producers in the Utica Shale Play a more flexible option to get their products to market.”

This new Savage operation benefits from OCC’s 500+ acres of land adjacent to Route 45 and just minutes from I-80 and the Ohio Turnpike. The OCC has direct access to the CSX Class 1 rail line and over 10 miles of track to handle in- and out-bound unit trains.

Savage’s transload services include the handling, loading and distribution of hazardous and non-hazardous materials. The OCC is currently undergoing an expansion that will equip the facility with loop tracks able to accommodate the loading of unit trains.
