Welcome to JBF Warehouse & Cross Dock Logistics, Inc., where we specialize in offering comprehensive and reliable warehouse storage solutions that cater to a variety of logistical needs. One of our standout features is our commitment to high standards, evidenced by our SQF and Organic Certifications. As we explore our warehouse and storage services today, we will delve deeper into these certifications, our strategic location in Lathrop, CA, and the exciting upcoming development of our Foreign Trade Zone.
Emphasizing Food Safety with SQF Certification
At JBF, we understand the critical importance of food safety in the logistics industry. That’s why we’re proud to have a Safe Quality Food (SQF) certification, a globally recognized standard that ensures our customers that the products stored and handled in our facilities meet the highest possible food safety standards. This certification is not just a label; it’s a testament to our ongoing dedication to quality management, compliance, and traceability in the supply chain.
Benefits of SQF Certification:
- Food Safety Assurance: Our SQF Certification guarantees rigorous food safety controls are in place, minimizing risks associated with food handling and storage.
- Enhanced Reputation: By partnering with a SQF certified warehouse, businesses can boost their reputation in the market, reflecting their commitment to quality and safety.
- Market Access: The SQF Certification is widely recognized, enabling easier entry to markets that demand high-standard qualifications.
Going Organic with Certification
Complementing our SQF status, we also boast Organic Certification, ensuring that organic produce is stored, handled, and processed in accordance with strict production standards. This offers our clients the confidence to maintain organic integrity throughout their supply chain, from farm to market.
Strategic Location in Lathrop, CA
Located in the heart of California’s logistical hubs, our warehouse in Lathrop, CA, is at a crossroads of major freight transportation routes. This prime location means we can offer faster distribution, reduced transportation costs, and access to a significant consumer market that spans the entire West Coast.
Advantages of Our Strategic Location:

Upcoming Foreign Trade Zone
We are also excited to announce the upcoming development of a Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) at our warehousing facilities. An FTZ is a secured area within the United States but considered outside of U.S. Customs territory for tariff purposes. The implementation of an FTZ will provide our clients significant financial benefits, such as duty deferral, reduction, or elimination.
Advantages of the Foreign Trade Zone:
- Duty Exemption: No duties or quota charges on re-exports.
- Duty Deferral: Customs duties and excise taxes deferred on imports.
- Reduction in Duties: If the final product has a lower duty than the individual parts or materials, there is a potential for duty reduction.
- Streamlined Logistics: Improved inventory control and logistics operations due to more flexible handling of goods.
