Logistics is well positioned to act on behalf of consumer goods
companies and those retailers facing complex issues in their global
supply chain. Both have demanding execution requirements and are
extremely cost-conscious. BridgeStone continues to service and help
those companies who are focused on growth, not on building a logistics
infrastructure. While building long-term, mutually beneficial relationships
– we take pride in assisting those companies with the knowledge
and sophisticated systems that will propel them to the next level.
Our industry trained and dedicated specialists will design customized
solutions that manage business surges, seasonal spikes, shelf/product
life cycles, inventory forecasting and speed-to-market schedules.
We listen and focus our solutions to provide our clients with a
competitive advantage.
We operate distribution centers, provide full transportation management
and perform value-added services for this vertical market. BridgeStone
offers both dedicated and multi-client distribution centers. Our
nationwide network enables those companies with fast moving consumer
goods to locate their inventory close to their customers.
