THE KLABIN COMPANY REPRESENTS COLUMBIA CONTAINER LINES IN MAJOR FULLERTON INDUSTRIAL LEASE TRANSACTION

Freight forwarder and logistics provider consolidates South Bay operations into 156,096-square-foot facility positioned for greater efficiency and future growth in one of Orange County’s most strategic distribution corridors.

(APRIL 30, 2026 – TORRANCE, CALIF.) – The Klabin Company/CORFAC International today announced it has represented Columbia Container Lines LAX, Inc. in a 68-month lease transaction for a 156,096-square-foot industrial property located at 691-701 Burning Tree Road in Fullerton. The lease is valued at more than $13.6 million.

Tyler Rollema, SIOR, and Matt Stringfellow, SIOR, of The Klabin Company represented Columbia Container Lines in the transaction. The company is relocating and expanding from its previous location in Gardena as part of a long-term strategy to consolidate operations and improve efficiency in support of continued growth. The Landlord, CIM Group, was represented by Ben Seybold and Tom Dorman of CBRE.

Columbia Container Lines provides local, national and global freight forwarding and logistics solutions, with services that include air, ocean and ground transportation as well as customs brokerage. The company’s new Fullerton facility offers the scale and functionality needed to support its next phase of growth, including 11,575 square feet of office space, 134 parking spaces, 12 dock-high loading positions, four ground-level doors, 28-foot clear height and an expansive truck court.

The move represents a significant operational upgrade for Columbia Container Lines, which had expanded over the past decade into three older, lower-clear buildings in the South Bay to meet customer demand. By consolidating into a single larger facility, the company gains a higher-image location with improved building specifications and circulation that will enhance throughput, efficiency and overall service capabilities.

“Columbia Container Lines had built a successful and growing business over the last 15 years, but its operations had become spread across three older South Bay buildings that no longer matched the company’s needs,” said Rollema.

“The goal was to consolidate into one larger, more efficient facility that offered a stronger image, higher clearance and an expansive truck court to better support day-to-day operations and customer service. This Fullerton property checked all those boxes, while also giving the company a right of first option to expand into the remaining 40,000 square-foot space as it plans for future growth,” said Rollema.

The lease also reflects the continued appeal of Orange County industrial locations for logistics and trade-related users seeking access to major transportation infrastructure and labor pools. Fullerton’s geographic advantages include proximity to the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, extensive freeway and rail access and proximity to major airports, all of which continue to support international trade and industrial activity across the region.
