Graebel relocated from a Chantilly, VA-based facility to alsosave on energy costs, Phil Burton, SVP and real estate director forGraebel, says in a prepared statement. "Our new location atProLogis Park Gateway is significantly closer to major modes oftransportation and will allow us to reduce travel time and gasconsumption."
