Atlanta Pallet Rack, a national distributor of warehouse storage systems and material handling equipment, has made a multi-million dollar investment in their future with the purchase of a building at 1335 Rockdale Industrial Boulevard. Chris Eckles with CBRE represented Atlanta Pallet Rack in the transaction.

At 500,000 sq. ft. and sitting on over 40 acres of land, this is one the largest buildings in Rockdale County. Originally built in the 1950s and with additions and upgrades over the years, the building has a long and vibrant history in the Conyers-Rockdale community and with its families.

“This acquisition speaks to the health of Atlanta’s industrial market,” Eckles said. “As a supplier to this sector, Atlanta Pallet Rack has now tripled their storage capacity in order to stay ahead of the rapid increase in demand.” He expressed appreciation to the City of Conyers, Rockdale County and the Conyers Rockdale Economic Development Council for their help during this process.

Marty Jones, Executive Director of the CREDC noted the continued renaissance of this original manufacturing/industrial corridor in Conyers-Rockdale. This new investment will continue the re-birth of this area; bring jobs, people, and life to the area.

Conyers Rockdale Economic Development Council represents both Rockdale County and the City of Conyers. The mission of CREDC is to promote and enhance the economic vitality of the community through the retention and/or expansion of existing business and the resource appropriate attraction of new business.
