New Jersey hosts the most intensive 3PL market on the US East Coast per square mile, driven by its position as the primary import gateway for the Northeast's 25 million consumers. The Port Newark-Elizabeth Marine Terminal is the largest container port on the East Coast, and the logistics infrastructure built around it -- spanning the Meadowlands, Elizabeth, Linden, Edison, and South Brunswick -- is among the densest in the world. New Jersey 3PLs handle everything from pharmaceutical distribution (GDP-compliant pallet requirements) to fashion import distribution (fast-cycle pallets) to e-commerce fulfillment (Grade A bulk). The Robbinsville and South Brunswick area has become one of the largest e-commerce fulfillment clusters in the US.
