Yes, it's a lot — we've been at it since 1850

A full-service 3PL — across every industry we serve.

We know the list looks long. We've had time. Taylor has been a 3PL since 1850 — the playbook has had a few generations to mature. We don't run a different operating model for each vertical. One Taylor serves them all, on one warehousing footprint, one freight desk, one WMS, and one account team.

The Taylor model · Plant-adjacent 3PL

One warehouse. Finished goods out. Raw materials in.

A Taylor pattern that works exceptionally well for manufacturers: we sit close to your plant and run both sides of the flow — finished goods staging outbound, and vendor-managed raw materials and ingredients inbound. One operator, one WMS, one set of dock doors — your plant gets relief on both ends.

Inbound · raw & ingredients

Vendor-managed, sequenced, kit-to-line.

  • → Raw materials, components, packaging
  • → Food-grade ingredients & flavorings
  • → Food-grade hazmat (where permitted)
  • → Lot/COA capture at receipt
  • → Sequenced put-away, kit-to-line
Your plant
Manufacturing

Taylor 3PL on both sides — close enough to deliver same-day.

Outbound · finished goods

Stage. Pick. Ship. Repeat.

  • → Plant overflow + finished-goods DC
  • → Retail compliance, EDI, ASN
  • → Co-pack, kitting, display build
  • → Outbound TL/LTL via Taylor freight
  • → Real-time WMS visibility to your team
One operator
One Taylor team across both inbound raw and outbound finished — not two vendors fighting at your dock.
Plant relief
Free up plant floor for production. We stage what you need, when you need it.
Food-grade + hazmat
SQF and food-grade discipline for ingredients and flavorings. Hazmat-aware where required.
One contract
Warehousing, freight, value-added, and tech — one MSA, one CSM, one invoice.

Quick answers

What shippers ask about industry fit.

Certifications, scope, capabilities — the questions that come up most when a brand is evaluating Taylor for a new vertical.

Taylor Logistics is a full-service 3PL serving food and beverage, retail and big-box, eCommerce and DTC, CPG, health and beauty, pet food, nutraceuticals, healthcare and PPE, automotive, renewable energy, industrial and manufacturing, consumer appliances, apparel, building materials, and more. Every industry gets the same service stack: warehousing, freight, value-added services, and the Taylor technology platform.
Yes. Taylor has served the food and beverage industry since 1971 and operates SQF-certified, FDA-aligned, food-grade warehouses. We support ambient and refrigerated storage, lot/expiry/FEFO control, recall readiness, and the documentation retail and manufacturer customers require.
Yes. We operate dedicated DTC pick-and-pack programs with marketplace integrations (Shopify, Amazon, BigCommerce, WooCommerce), parcel optimization, subscription kitting, gift-with-purchase, and returns. The same building can run retail B2B and DTC side-by-side from a single inventory pool.
Not today. Taylor does not currently offer alcohol warehousing — but we are insured to broker and move beer, wine, and spirits through our freight network. If you need beverage-alcohol freight, we can quote and run it.
Across every industry, Taylor offers kitting, co-packing, display assembly, gift-with-purchase, subscription-box build, retail-compliance labeling, light manufacturing, returns processing, and rework — all run inside the same WMS as the core inventory, by the same team that handles storage and shipping.
Yes. That's the design. One Taylor contract typically covers warehousing, freight, eCommerce fulfillment, value-added services, and the technology stack — one account team, one WMS, one TMS, one invoice.
