Decades of vertical experience, not generic 3PL. We understand the compliance requirements, the timelines, and the cost of a missed shipment in your industry.

Industry

Food & Beverage

Food and beverage is our deepest vertical. All four DAW facilities are food-grade certified, not as an add-on, but as a baseline standard we've maintained for decades. That means when you bring us a food client, we don't need to retrofit anything.

We handle ESL products, aseptic packaging, dairy, dry grocery, frozen (where temperature control is available), and bulk ingredient storage. Our lot tracking, FIFO rotation protocols, and allergen segregation procedures are built to support FDA-regulated environments.

We've handled everything from single-SKU private label runs to multi-SKU Fortune 500 grocery distribution. If it touches food, we know how to store and move it right.

Metals & Raw Materials

Metals and raw materials require a different kind of warehousing: heavy floor loads, bulk storage configuration, and weight capture at receiving. We've handled aluminum coil and sheet, ferroalloys, industrial minerals, and specialty chemicals for global trading houses and manufacturers.

Our facilities include high-bay racking for coils and extrusions, open floor zones for bulk pallets and slip-sheet loads, and outdoor overflow with secured fencing for large-volume accumulation. We support import/export workflows and have experience with the documentation requirements for international trade movements.

If your product is heavy, high-value, or requires specialized handling at receiving, we're set up for it.
