What Bergen Logistics does

Bergen Logistics (legal entity Bergen Shippers Corp) is a global third-party logistics provider founded in 1998 and headquartered in North Bergen, New Jersey. The company operates over 2.4 million square feet of warehouse and fulfillment space across 15 locations in the United States, Canada, the Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, the United Kingdom, Singapore, India, China, Brazil, and Mexico. Its core service offering is contract-based omnichannel fulfillment — wholesale, e-commerce, retail, and marketplace distribution from a single inventory instance — with particular specialization in fashion, footwear, handbags, accessories, and cosmetics, plus adjacent verticals including health & wellness, home & living, and fitness & outdoor. The technology backbone is CloudX Systems, a proprietary cloud-based warehouse management system providing real-time inventory visibility, predictive analytics, and integration with more than 20 third-party platforms including Shopify, SPS Commerce, Global-e, JOOR, NuORDER, Brightpearl, Cin7, Pipe17, and Loop Returns.

Revenue is generated through managed 3PL services — storage, pick-and-pack, subscription box assembly (20M+ boxes annually), freight forwarding via ITG International Transports (Elanders Group), bonded warehousing, and value-added services such as garment-on-hanger handling, custom embroidery, and branded packaging. Bergen employs 501–1,000 staff and operates as an 80%-owned subsidiary of Sweden-listed Elanders Group (Nasdaq Stockholm: ELAN-B) following the November 2021 acquisition, with founder Ron Roman retaining a minority stake. Charles Ickes serves as CEO of Bergen Logistics, CEO of CloudX Systems, and Group COO of Elanders. CloudX Systems is being developed as a standalone SaaS product, signaling a strategic evolution from pure-play 3PL services toward a hybrid services-plus-software model.
