InterChange Group

What InterChange Group does

InterChange Group is a privately held, founder-led third-party logistics (3PL) provider headquartered in Harrisonburg/Mount Crawford, Virginia. Founded in 1993 as The Warehouse Company and renamed in 2005, the company operates approximately 2.0 million square feet across 20 warehousing facilities concentrated in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, with additional terminals in Front Royal, Portsmouth, Waynesboro, Verona, and Winchester. The portfolio is anchored by a 600,000 SF (expanding via Phase IV to that total) state-of-the-art cold storage facility, the first built in Virginia in over two decades, with temperature-controlled chambers ranging from 34°F chilled to -10°F deep-freeze and over 133,500 pallet positions across the cold-storage footprint.

The company monetizes through four integrated revenue streams: warehousing (public and contract, including over 1 million SF of food-grade space), transportation via the InterChange Express fleet (60+ tractors, 350+ reefer and dry-van trailers providing FTL and intermodal services through the Port of Virginia), value-added services (USDA inspections, FDA export certificates, military labeling, consolidation, container drayage), and industrial real estate development across more than 500 acres of land. Customer mix is enterprise-leaning across food and beverage, agriculture, pharmaceutical, and port/international trade verticals, with pricing structured as custom multi-year contracts.

Go-to-market is sales-led through direct enterprise field sales ([email protected]), supported by industry association memberships (Global Cold Chain Alliance, IWLA, Virginia Maritime Association) and sustainability credentials including EPA SmartWay certification and a 4.2 MW solar partnership with Secure Solar Futures. Recent operating moves include the March 2025 promotion of Cliff Alt to COO, Keith VanBenschoten to CSO, and the hiring of Timothy Cognata (ex-DHL) as Director of Sales, alongside the 2026 Phase IV cold storage expansion.

Relevant competitor that InterChange specifically hired from for its new Director of Sales role; both compete for the same Mid-Atlantic enterprise 3PL contracts.
