Gaylords in Camden
Camden is a port and food-making city across the river from Center City, with soup, marine terminals and scrap yards, and a steady supply of boxes that have done their first job.
What fills and empties gaylords in the city of Camden
Camden sits at the foot of the Ben Franklin Bridge on the New Jersey bank. Its waterfront holds marine terminals and scrap and recycling yards; its food makers include the headquarters of a famous soup company; its older neighborhoods retain small factories and warehouses.
The combination of port, food and scrap means boxes arrive and leave in every condition. A terminal may hold a stack of sound single-trip empties beside a scrap yard that takes torn ones. The key is sorting, and a seller who sorts first gets a better answer.
What the record shows
Campbell's is headquartered in Camden, New Jersey (Wikipedia). Our research lists food manufacturing, port terminals and scrap and recycling for the city. We name no company as a customer.
Camden's waterfront has been redeveloped in parts, and old industrial buildings have been reused. That means a site may be a warehouse today and offices tomorrow, with stacks left behind by the previous tenant.
