Uline

Wisconsin-based Uline is hiring more than 200 employees for its newest warehouse in Plainfield, saying operations will begin in July.

The town of Plainfield, located in Connecticut’s “Last Green Valley,” might appear remote and rural, but it has still attracted a lot of attention from major corporate warehouses, with a slew of recent deals.

While the town of Plainfield is experiencing an increase in warehouse development, central Connecticut’s broader industrial real estate market has slowed down.

Uline, a Wisconsin-based distributor of shipping, industrial and packaging materials, is significantly expanding its East Coast operations with a new 1.25 million-square-foot warehouse in Plainfield.
