Gaylords in Deepwater, Carneys Point and Pennsville
Deepwater, Carneys Point and Pennsville are the New Jersey end of the Delaware Memorial Bridge, with fluoropolymer and chemical plants whose boxes are strong, specific and rarely hazardous-free.
What fills and empties gaylords at the Delaware Memorial Bridge
At the southwest tip of New Jersey the Turnpike ends, the Delaware Memorial Bridge rises over the river, and a belt of chemical plants lines the shore. Deepwater and Carneys Point are the industrial towns, and Pennsville is the residential bridgehead.
The plants make fluoropolymers and specialty chemicals, and they handle those with care. Boxes that carried such materials are rarely suitable for resale, and we say so up front. The opportunity is in the supply side: packaging, maintenance goods and inbound ingredients that are non-hazardous.
