EVENTS
Gov. Larry Hogan Tours
New McCormick Distribution Center
In late October, Gov. Larry Hogan joined McCormick & Company CEO Lawrence Kurzius and Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski on a tour of McCormick’s new 1.8 million square-foot Northeast Distribution Center at Tradepoint Atlantic in Baltimore County — the largest distribution site
for McCormick in the world, supporting nearly 200 jobs.
“This is a perfect example of how we changed the mission of state government to be unabashedly pro-jobs and pro-business,” said Gov. Hogan. “When this iconic Maryland company was looking at moving their operations elsewhere, we committed to doing everything possible to help them stay in
our state. I just couldn’t imagine Old Bay being made anywhere else. I am proud
to say that McCormick is not only here to stay — with a new global headquarters
in Hunt Valley — but the company is also expanding its footprint with the addition of this massive distribution center that will be the company’s largest in the world.”
In November 2020, Gov.
Hogan participated in the facility’s groundbreaking at Tradepoint Atlantic Industrial Park, which serves as a critical East Coast gateway to domestic and global markets. With the addition of
this state-of-the-art distribution center, McCormick is renewing its commitment and investment in the Baltimore region and the state of Maryland. 
This is a
perfect example of how we changed the mission of state
government to be unabashedly pro-jobs and pro-business.”
