Why Ohio?

Zipline Logistics plans to move to a larger 16,000-square-foot headquarters in the Tri-Village community of Upper Arlington, Marble Cliff and Grandview Heights. The company will invest $1.1 million into office renovation, IT support and training.

Zipline Logistics is a great example of how companies in logistics and distribution are starting, scaling and succeeding in Ohio. Ohio has a central location with one of the best infrastructures in the U.S., providing quick access to large customer populations. Ohio also has a multichannel infrastructure and nine foreign trade zones, the most in the Midwest. For companies like Zipline Logistics, which rely on offering the highest quality customer service and industry-leading efficiency, Ohio enables fast, flexible, predictable and low-cost shipping.

This is Zipline Logistics’ third office in the Columbus Region.
