The Advance Group

What The Advance Group does

The Advance Group is a privately held commercial moving, logistics, warehousing, technology-services, and specialty-services platform headquartered in Farmingdale, NY, tracing its roots to Molloy Bros. Moving & Storage (founded 1946). The company operates six core service lines — Commercial Moving, Delivery & Installation (FF&E), Logistics, Storage & Warehousing, Technology Services, and Specialty Services — delivered through dedicated crews across eight owned locations spanning the NY tri-state area (Farmingdale HQ, Long Island, Manhattan, Harrison NJ, Newark NJ) and Florida (Melbourne, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale). Its technology backbone centers on the proprietary Windfall warehouse management system with a client-facing web portal and barcode-based asset tracking, supporting 500,000+ square feet of secure, climate-controlled warehouse space.

The company serves enterprise and mid-market clients across financial services, healthcare, education, technology, retail, hospitality, manufacturing, legal, and cultural institutions — with named accounts including Deutsche Bank, Columbia University, Lowe's, Spotify, NBC Universal, Yale School of Medicine, Nespresso, and Christie's. Revenue is generated through project-based, custom-quoted fees across moving projects, managed services contracts, warehousing volume, and technology-services engagements. Distribution combines direct enterprise field sales (VP of Strategic Accounts, CRO, SVPs of Sales) with inside sales via phone and web inquiries, supplemented by the Office Moving Alliance (OMA) and Mayflower Transit networks providing access to 350+ cities in 10 countries.

The business is owner-controlled under CEO Anthony Parziale, who acquired the company in 2022 after serving as President since 2015 and reports revenue more than tripled under his leadership, with double-digit CAGR from 2011–2019. Recent strategic activity includes the April 2023 acquisition of Sorensen Moving & Storage and Sorensen Logistics (Florida expansion), a Fort Lauderdale facility opening in July 2024, and an OMA Board of Directors seat for the CEO. Sub-brands FITCO (delivery/installation/millwork), Molloy Moving & Storage (residential), Advance Technology Services, Sorensen Logistics, and Sorensen Moving & Storage operate under unified ownership.
