The Coastal Companies welcomes Governor Larry Hogan and County Executive Allan Kittleman for its Building Dedication Ceremony. The Coastal Companies moved into its newly constructed, 330,000 sq. ft. facility in Laurel, MD in May 2016. Three times the capacity of its former headquarters, the new distribution center and processing facility is state-of-the-art in every respect.

When growth demanded more space for The Coastal Companies, options included moving its operations to a different state. Committed to its people, Coastal wanted to remain in Maryland, and specifically Howard County. Assistance from the county and state helped make that a reality. On Wednesday, we celebrate the support and dedication received to make our move a success!
