What Astra does
Astra/CFX Holdings, LLC, operating as Astra Logistic Services, is a US-based third-party logistics (3PL) provider headquartered at 11971 NW 37th Street, Coral Springs, Florida, founded in 1989. The company serves Fortune 100, Fortune 500, and government clients across automotive OEM, energy and utilities, government, retail and apparel, and general transportation sectors. Its customer base includes BMW, Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, International (Navistar), USPS, FPL, Lockheed Martin, US Customs, Perry Ellis, One Jeanswear, DFW, IC Bus, and Security Moving. The company positions itself as a single-source 3PL provider combining transportation, warehousing, sub-assembly, and custom-engineered site services, and is a Hispanic-Woman Owned Minority Business Enterprise certified by WBENC, NMSDC, and FSMSDC — a credential that creates Tier 1 supplier-diversity procurement access for enterprise customers.
The operational platform is built around four integrated service lines: Omni-Modal Transportation (domestic and international LTL, truckload, air, ocean, intermodal, refrigerated, expedited, and AOG service plus customs brokerage), Warehousing and Fulfillment (ambient, chilled, and frozen space, FTZ expertise, pick-and-pack, with WMS-reported 99.98% inventory accuracy and remote-access video), Sub-Assembly and Sequencing (JIT/JIS for OEM modules including tires and wheels, engines, seats, suspensions, and brake systems), and Turnkey 3PL Engineered Sites (custom site analysis, design, sourcing, installation, and launch). The technical stack includes industrial vision systems and robotics deployed at raw goods induct and final assembly points, a cloud-based Transportation Management System with API and EDI connectivity and client portal access, and a registered trademarked employee training and audit platform called AutoTrainer® that delivers touch-screen pre- and post-shift training, layered process audits at critical workstations, and rotating skills tests with per-employee data capture and corrective-action tracking. The company holds ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001:2004, and TS 16949:2009 certifications.
Commercially, Astra operates through a multi-modal GTM: enterprise field sales targeting Fortune 100 and 500 accounts with a senior management team carrying 120+ years of cumulative supply chain consulting experience; regional sales representatives in the Southeast US and Mid-Atlantic; a direct customer portal (astra-portal.shipprimus.com) and website quote requests for self-serve freight pricing; and a Choice Partnerships carrier network providing multi-modal freight capacity without holding fleet assets. Pricing is structured as either transactional freight rates (LTL/FTL/volume quote-based) or a Net + Margin managed-services invoicing methodology for centralized logistics management. Ownership is held by President and majority owner Sharon McTurk (30+ years in logistics, formerly a 15-year Terminal Manager and Sales Representative at Roadway Express) and COO and minority owner Tom Przybojewski (30+ years in logistics, automation, and sub-assembly, formerly a Regional Sales Manager at Roadway Express). The company is a private LLC with no documented institutional investor backing, although the input data lists a $16 million round from Aslanoba Capital in September 2016 — a data point inconsistent with the otherwise founder/management-owned structure and likely misattributed from a similarly named entity.
