ODW Logistics is part of a surging industry in Central Ohio, offering options for companies that need help with warehousing, fulfillment and transportation decisions.
Head to the company's office at 400 W. Nationwide Blvd., and you'll find 100 employees filling 23,000 square feet. You'll also find a vintage industrial theme, the "Forklift Cafe" and a variety of wall displays showing off the company's history.

Well, there are robots.
The company uses innovative automated systems and robotics to make its "operations run more efficiently and provide cost savings to (its) clients," according to an email from a spokesman.
