The facility, eight miles from New York City, is part of a strategic expansion plan at Secaucus, N.J.-based Cory and allows the carrier to better serve customers in metro New York.

“We are delighted to grow our business by providing services for Bob’s Discount Furniture and Wayfair, and many other clients from this three-acre complex,” said CEO Patrick Cory, who with Chairman Joe Cory Sr. welcomed more than 150 industry guests, clients, vendors and employees to a ribbon-cutting ceremony and celebration in late September.

Managing Partner Marin Dragojevic and COO Bob Alter led the amazing transformation of these warehouses into a beautiful and efficient distribution operation.

Marin stated, “This celebration marks the beginning of a new venture, but for the special few, this journey began many months ago on a crisp winter morning … when the search began for a warehouse that could provide in-home delivery services to the greater NY Metro area," Dragojevic said. "Since February, we have made deliveries out of this complex, and we have done it, despite setbacks and challenges, with a quality and execution second to none in our industry.”

Peter Sorrentino, vice president of delivery operations and outbound logistics from Bob’s Discount Furniture said during his congratulatory remarks that Cory does “it right the first time, do it first class and do it as a professional is why we are partners with Cory.”

In conclusion of the ceremony, Patrick Cory presented a donation to the Nicholas Sacco Foundation, which supports the children within the community; and to Our Lady of Fatima Church which prepares and provides meals to the local communities.

Guests toured both buildings and enjoyed a BBQ lunch.
