D&G Transportation is opening a new 60,000 square foot building at N120 W18665 Freistadt Road in Germantown, WI. D&G is expanding due to increased demand for temperature-controlled storage, which exceeds the current facility's capacity.

The new facility will handle all storage needs and is anticipated to create an undisclosed number of new jobs. Together with their brokerage division, Germantown Logistics LLC, D&G provides routing services for over 120 owner operators serving every region of the continental US.

First Business Bank - Milwaukee will fund the construction loan for the project and ESI Group USA will oversee the project as the general contractor. In addition, Kuhlman, Inc. will design/build the refrigeration system and McClure Engineering Associates, Inc. is providing civil engineering services.
