Atlantic Forest Products to Bring Jobs to Sparrows Point

From Baltimore County:

Atlantic Forest Products (AFP), a wholesale distributor of building materials, has signed a long-term lease at Tradepoint Atlantic in Sparrows Point. Atlantic Forest Products will be leasing two storage buildings totaling 160,000 square feet of covered space on 16 acres of land for staging of building products. In addition, the lease includes 6,500 square feet of office space for Atlantic Forest Products to locate its corporate headquarters at Sparrows Point.

Atlantic Forest Products currently employs 50 people, with plans for growth.

“Tradepoint Atlantic is rapidly living up to its potential as the most important jobs generator in the region,” said Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz. “With recent announcements that Under Armour, Pasha Automotive, FedEx Ground and now Atlantic Forest Products are coming to Tradepoint Atlantic, we come closer to returning 10,000 jobs to Sparrows Point.”

“Atlantic Forest Products is excited to expand its footprint in Baltimore through bringing its existing operations to Sparrows Point to achieve greater scale and supply chain efficiency,” said John Chisholm, president of Atlantic Forest Products. “By consolidating our broad range of building products at Tradepoint Atlantic, we are afforded space as well as the benefit of on-site proximity to two major railways, a port, and an interstate highway for ease of transportation to support our strong East Coast brand presence.”
