Warehousing third party logistics provider (3PL) Stord has acquired the fulfillment service provider ProPack Logistics, saying the move extends its network throughout the U.S. and Canada and strengthens its ability to provide tailored supply chain physical and digital solutions.

Terms of acquisition were not disclosed. Stord is backed by investment firms including Kleiner Perkins, Franklin Templeton, Founders Fund, and Salesforce Ventures. 


ProPack, which is headquartered in Blaine, Washington, offers multichannel fulfillment, last-mile shipping, and value-added and reverse logistics services. It also focuses on serving the nutritional products industry through its temperature-controlled, GMP Certified, and FDA-registered network.

Atlanta-based Stord said those attributes will complement its own position as a provider of high-volume fulfillment services and supply chain technology for omnichannel mid-market and enterprise brands. By integrating ProPack's network and expertise, Stord enhances its logistics infrastructure, which now includes 1.6 million square feet of fulfillment centers across 10 markets, shipping over 25 million DTC and B2B orders annually. 

Specifically, ProPack operates six warehouses across the United States and Canada, with locations supporting Seattle, WA; Salt Lake City, UT; Nashville, TN; Vancouver, BC; and Mississauga, ON. These facilities will complement Stord’s existing nationwide network of fulfillment centers in Atlanta, GA; North Haven, CT; Dallas, TX; Reno, NV; and Las Vegas, NV, as well as its network of strategic partner facilities.

"We are thrilled to join forces with ProPack," Sean Henry, Co-Founder and CEO of Stord, said in a release. "Their strong multichannel processes, proprietary systems, and extensive fulfillment experience in the nutrition and supplement category perfectly complements our cloud supply chain solutions. This acquisition expands Stord’s comprehensive suite of products and services tailored to our customers. Further, this acquisition accelerates Stord’s revenue and volume scale, and cements our position as a leading North American e-commerce and fulfillment platform."

Happy interesting New Year

While Christmas is always my favorite time of the year, I have always been something of a Scrooge when it comes to celebrating the New Year. It is traditionally a time of reflection, where we take stock of our lives and make resolutions to do better. I’ve always felt that I really didn’t need a calendar to remind me to kick my bad habits in favor of healthier routines. If I was not already doing something that was good for me, then making promises I probably won’t keep after a few weeks is not really helpful.

But as we turn the calendar to 2025, there is a lot to consider this new year. The election is behind us, and it will be interesting to see how supply chains react to the new administration. We’ve been told to expect sharp increases in tariffs, like those the president-elect issued in his first term. Will these cause the desired shift away from goods made in China?

IFR: five trends will drive robot growth through 2025

As the global market value of industrial robot installations passes its all-time high of $16.5 billion, five trends will continue to drive its growth through 2025, according to a forecast from the International Federation of Robotics (IFR).

That is important because the increased use of robots has the potential to significantly reduce the impact of labor shortages in manufacturing, IFR said. That will happen when robots automate dirty, dull, dangerous or delicate tasks – such as visual quality inspection, hazardous painting, or heavy lifting—thus freeing up human workers to focus on more interesting and higher-value tasks.

Port of Montreal says activities are back to normal following 2024 strike

Container traffic is finally back to typical levels at the port of Montreal, two months after dockworkers returned to work following a strike, port officials said Thursday.

Canada’s federal government had mandated binding arbitration between workers and employers through the country’s Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) in November, following labor strikes on both coasts that shut down major facilities like the ports of Vancouver and Montreal.
