"Employee owners use what they have learned at SRC to build their communities and a strong future. That's what we want for Joliet," remarked Eric Lindgren, general manager for SRC Logistics Illinois Inc., in a company news release.

Lindgren will oversee the Joliet facility. To learn more about job opportunities with the new company coming to Joliet, visit its website here.
