Logistics firm plots new $11M HQ project, 140 new hires

FORT MYERS — Scotlynn USA, a fast-growing logistics and transportation firm, has announced plans to build a new $11 million headquarters.

The company, which specializes in truckload transportation and the distribution of perishable products, is building its new central hub at 9597 Gulf Research Lane in Fort Myers, according to a statement. Groundbreaking is scheduled for later this month, the release adds, and the three-story, 60,000-square-foot building will incorporate contemporary interior design elements that have an industrial feel, reflecting Scotlynn’s core business. An example includes corrugated metal wall panels that mimic containers hauled by tractor trailers, the release adds.
