The agreement enables NFI Industries--based in Vineland, NJ-- and Raven Transport to leverage their combined expertise and competencies to capture a variety of new business opportunities in the transportation, warehousing and packaging market, said NFI's CEO Sidney Brown. As a part of the agreement, Raven's clients get access to 15 million square feet of commercial warehouse space as well as innovative design and packaging solutions, NFI said.
