Warehousing third party logistics provider (3PL) Stord has acquired the fulfillment service provider ProPack Logistics, saying the move extends its network throughout the U.S. and Canada and strengthens its ability to provide tailored supply chain physical and digital solutions.

Terms of acquisition were not disclosed. Stord is backed by investment firms including Kleiner Perkins, Franklin Templeton, Founders Fund, and Salesforce Ventures. 

ProPack, which is headquartered in Blaine, Washington, offers multichannel fulfillment, last-mile shipping, and value-added and reverse logistics services. It also focuses on serving the nutritional products industry through its temperature-controlled, GMP Certified, and FDA-registered network.

Atlanta-based Stord said those attributes will complement its own position as a provider of high-volume fulfillment services and supply chain technology for omnichannel mid-market and enterprise brands. By integrating ProPack's network and expertise, Stord enhances its logistics infrastructure, which now includes 1.6 million square feet of fulfillment centers across 10 markets, shipping over 25 million DTC and B2B orders annually. 

Specifically, ProPack operates six warehouses across the United States and Canada, with locations supporting Seattle, WA; Salt Lake City, UT; Nashville, TN; Vancouver, BC; and Mississauga, ON. These facilities will complement Stord’s existing nationwide network of fulfillment centers in Atlanta, GA; North Haven, CT; Dallas, TX; Reno, NV; and Las Vegas, NV, as well as its network of strategic partner facilities.

"We are thrilled to join forces with ProPack," Sean Henry, Co-Founder and CEO of Stord, said in a release. "Their strong multichannel processes, proprietary systems, and extensive fulfillment experience in the nutrition and supplement category perfectly complements our cloud supply chain solutions. This acquisition expands Stord’s comprehensive suite of products and services tailored to our customers. Further, this acquisition accelerates Stord’s revenue and volume scale, and cements our position as a leading North American e-commerce and fulfillment platform."

The surge of “nearshoring” supply chains from China to Mexico offers obvious benefits in cost, geography, and shipping time, as long as U.S. companies are realistic about smoothing out the challenges of the burgeoning trend, according to a panel today at the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP)’s EDGE Conference in Nashville.

Those challenges span a list including: developing infrastructure, weak security, manual processes, and shifting regulations, speakers said in a session titled “Nearshoring: Transforming Surface Transportation in the U.S.”

After a cyberattack, quick reaction is critical, Estes says

A quick reaction in the first 24 hours is critical for keeping your business running after a cyberattack, according to Estes Express Lines, the less than truckload (LTL) carrier whose computer systems were struck by hackers in October, 2023.

Immediately after discovering the breach, the company cut off their internet, called in a third-party information technology (IT) support team, and then used their only remaining tools—employees’ personal email and phone contacts—to start reaching out to their shipper clients. The message on Day One: even though the company was reduced to running the business with paper and pencil instead of computers, they were still picking up loads on time with trucks.

East and Gulf Coast port strike would send ripples across U.S.

As the final hours tick away before a potential longshoreman’s strike begins at midnight on the U.S. East and Gulf coasts, experts say the ripples of that move could roll across the entire U.S. supply chains for weeks.

While some of the nation’s largest retailers were able to pull their imports forward in recent weeks to soften the blow, “the average supply chain is ill-prepared for this,” Tom Nightingale, the former CEO of AFS Logistics, said in a panel discussion today at the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP)’s EDGE Conference in Nashville.
