Armstrong & Associates’ Evaluation: |
This top notch, North American, value-added warehouseman has developed transportation management skills and broadened its integrated logistics offerings. Kenco has been a strong player in the Southeast U.S. for decades and is spreading to the rest of the country. Kenco provides manufacture support for Komatsu’s heavy equipment manufacturing facility in Tennessee. This successful relationship is opening doors with other Japanese customers. In addition, Kenco has spread successfully into pharmaceuticals, managing the logistics at GlaxoSmithKline’s North Carolina plant and handling its retail distribution. Kenco has significantly expanded its DCC operations over the last few years. |
