Our Ellabell facility delivers climate control that goes well beyond basic heating and cooling. The building is engineered as a fully climate-controlled environment, holding stable temperatures and humidity year-round so that goods stay protected through Georgia's humid subtropical seasons.
That stability translates into consistent product quality, cleaner regulatory compliance, and stronger brand trust with every order that ships.
Because the environment is actively managed rather than left to ambient conditions, brands get reliable, repeatable performance that keeps quality consistent across every product category.
Beauty and Personal Care
Skincare creams, serums, and cosmetics hold their texture, potency, and shelf appeal in a consistent environment.
Food and Beverage
Storage aligned with FDA and food-grade standards across ambient-to-chilled ranges.
Electronics and Tech
Controlled humidity guards sensitive components against condensation and static.
Home Goods and Automotive
Stable conditions prevent warping and material breakdown across temperature and humidity swings.
The Ellabell facility pairs precise climate control with energy-efficient infrastructure. A 2.5-megawatt solar array and advanced energy-efficient lighting reduce the site's environmental footprint while keeping operating performance high.
Lower energy consumption for maintaining climate zones means lower operating costs - savings we pass through to the brands we serve, with no compromise on the temperature management that premium and sensitive goods require.
For brands that hold themselves to environmental commitments, solar-supported operations and reduced energy waste make Ellabell a fulfillment partner that reflects those values. The site shows how modern infrastructure can deliver strong performance and genuine sustainability together.
"Climate control paired with an activated FTZ gives brands a durable advantage: consistent product quality, more predictable landed costs, and greater trust with the customers you serve."
Ellabell sits minutes from major highways, roughly 24 miles from the Port of Savannah - one of the fastest-growing ports in the country - and 2.5 miles from the Hyundai EV Megaplant. That proximity streamlines inbound and outbound flows for temperature-sensitive cargo.
Our activated Foreign Trade Zone status adds meaningful cost advantages and operational flexibility for brands moving apparel, CPG, beauty, electronics, and more across borders.
Goods enter the FTZ without immediate customs duties. Payment is triggered only when they enter U.S. commerce, improving cash flow for high-value or slower-moving inventory.
Goods that are re-exported or destroyed under supervision carry no U.S. duties - well suited for global distribution, seasonal overflow, and international returns.
For brands that process, assemble, or repackage in the zone, duties can be assessed on the finished product rather than each component - yielding savings across apparel, consumer goods, and electronics.
Weekly consolidated customs entries replace per-shipment filings, lowering administrative costs and processing fees for active users.
FTZ status lets cargo move efficiently from the Port of Savannah directly to our facility, shortening transit times and improving inventory availability.
Our 760,000-square-foot Class A facility supports operations that scale from small-batch eCommerce fulfillment to large B2B distribution, with 55,000 pallet positions and 132 cross-dock doors built for throughput.
Advanced inventory management, real-time tracking, and connectivity across 75+ fulfillment channels give brands full visibility and control over their supply chain. Value-added services including kitting, co-packing, and pick-and-pack all operate inside the same climate-controlled environment, keeping conditions consistent from receiving to final-mile handoff.
