AFN opens downtown Chicago office

Third-party logistics (3PL) provider AFN Logistics LLC said today it has opened an office in downtown Chicago with space to accommodate up to 70 employees.

Including its hiring at the new office, which is located at 101 N. Wacker Drive, AFN plans to bring a total of 85 jobs to the greater Chicagoland area in 2018, the company said. The new staff will join AFN's 250 current employees, according to Niles, Ill.-based AFN.

The expansion will help AFN to accommodate future growth while providing a meeting location for AFN's customers, carriers, and business partners, the firm said. In addition to proximity to public transit and an open floor plan, the new AFN site offers an onsite gym, kitchen, ping pong table, and arcade-style basketball hoops.
