Full Editorial Writeup

This established third-party logistics (3PL) operation has been serving clients from its Alameda County facility since 1999, combining warehousing, distribution, ecommerce fulfillment, literature distribution, and digital printing under one roof. The business operates from a 44,352 square foot facility (4,000 sq ft office space) with five truck loading docks, strategically located near major port facilities in the Bay Area. The integrated service model allows clients to consolidate multiple logistics needs with a single provider, creating operational efficiencies and stronger customer relationships.

The company has built a reputation for operational excellence through real-time inventory management systems that provide clients with transparency and accuracy in their supply chain operations. With 16 employees (13 full-time, 3 part-time), the business has cultivated what the seller describes as an exceptional team culture focused on client satisfaction. The facility maintains an unusually high standard of presentation for the logistics industry, with well-maintained interior and exterior spaces that project professionalism to clients.

Financially, the operation generates $2.8M in gross revenue with $1.25M in cash flow (SDE) and $1.1M EBITDA, representing healthy margins in a competitive market. The business has secured SBA approval for financing and operates under a lease through 2031 at $1 per square foot annually, providing operational stability for a new owner. The current owner cites retirement as the reason for sale and has expressed willingness to support the transition with training and ongoing consultation.
