The South Carolina companies Harbor Logistics and A&R Bulk-Pak today said they will merge, combining the resources of two firms which are both owned by the investment firm NOVA Infrastructure.
The integrated entity will employ more than 300 people and maintain over one million square feet of warehouse space near the Port of Charleston. The company will move, store, and manage goods through every stage of the supply chain for customers including importers, exporters, and manufacturers.
Joining forces will allow the new company to expand its service offerings by delivering end-to-end logistics solutions to companies across the Southeast U.S. and beyond, they said. The merged company will use the Harbor Logistics name and be led by CFO Jason Starnes and by CEO Kevin Shuba, an executive previously with real estate focused OmniTRAX and pallet pooler CHEP.
“By bringing together Harbor Logistics’ expertise in transportation and warehousing with A&R Bulk-Pak’s industry-leading packaging and bulk handling capabilities, we are creating a powerhouse logistics partner. Our expanded geographic footprint and enhanced service offering will help customers streamline operations, reduce costs and achieve new levels of supply chain performance,” Shuba said in a release.
