Automotive

The most important aspect of an automobile is quality. Allen Logistics helps to safeguard against damaged parts through our container management services. We clean and repair pallets and returnable containers, as well as sort and package products to ensure a safe delivery. We store automotive components as large as transmissions and as small as nuts and bolts.

Consumer Goods

With the amount of product leading consumer goods companies move day to day, organization is paramount in eliminating error, increasing efficiency and raising profits. Allen Logistics provides inventory management services – sorting, labeling, banding and shrink wrapping, sequencing and warehousing – to help consumer goods companies prepare their products for distribution in a timely, effective manner.

Energy

Energy and utility companies play a large role in the Tri-State area’s economy. These companies often require unique storage and shipping needs for items such as large and various-sized supplies and tools. Allen Logistics’ warehouses can be customized to fit products for long or short-term storage. In the past, we even built large cranes to move and store products. We will work with you to find the right storage solutions for your product.

Food & Beverage

With Allen Logistics’s pallet and container washing services, food and beverage clients can trust that the dunnage they use to ship goods is clean and free of dangerous contaminates that could damage their product and, ultimately, damage their business.

Your Goals. Our Goals. The Same Goals.

Allen Logistics views each client’s objectives as our own, and we want to actively engage in the problem-solving process. In the past, we’ve gone so far as to build custom machinery, such as industrial washing machines and indoor cranes, to accomplish our clients’ goals. We are can-do people with big-picture mentalities, who provide personal, hands-on service. Check our list of services below, or contact us with questions specific to your company’s needs!
