Expertise in Core Vertical Markets

Kenco serves customers across a wide range of sizes, types, and channels, from industrial and durable and fast-moving consumer goods to health and personal care. With decades of experience serving these markets, Kenco has a clear understanding of the pain points and unique operational requirements of each sector, empowering our customers to excel in their respective industry segments.

Leading with Innovation

Since we signed our first public warehousing contract in 1950, Kenco has been a pioneer in researching, developing, and deploying technologies that drive results. As the creator of the Kenco Innovation Labs, an industry-leading program to test new technologies, the company continues to help customers choose not just the latest offerings but the best technologies for their specific supply chain needs.

In 2019, we expanded the Kenco Innovation Labs to include a research facility in 10,000 square feet of space in a working warehouse. Within the first year, our team of specialists identified $5 million in savings for customers through a wide variety of solutions. This ability to evaluate products in the environments in which they will be used continues to empower us to better meet the needs of our customers.

Our Associates Are Our Foundation

At Kenco, our greatest and most valued asset is our associates. Their commitment and dedication have earned positive reviews from customers, especially during challenging times. We’ll continue to maintain these strict standards within our operations to protect the wellbeing of our team members while ensuring business continuity for our customers.

Building for the Future

In January 2024, Kenco proudly announced the acquisition of The Shippers Group, a Dallas-based third-party warehousing company. This strategic partnership adds to Kenco’s capabilities by providing increased capacity, broader geographic reach, and an expanded suite of services for the benefit of customers.

“Kenco and The Shippers Group have highly complementary capabilities and share a culture of excellence,” said Denis Reilly, CEO of Kenco. “Together, we bolster the combined suite of capabilities with increased scale and reach in key growth markets, enabling us to capitalize on market momentum, while continuing to deliver exceptional service to our customers. I have long admired The Shippers Group’s management team and look forward to working together in the next chapter of their growth.”

The acquisition bolsters Kenco’s multi-client capabilities and North American presence through the addition of 3.8 million square feet of space across eight sites in Florida, Georgia, and Texas. Kenco customers will benefit from access to The Shippers Group’s facilities, increased transportation capacity, as well as co-packaging know-how and processes.
