What Hollingsworth does

Hollingsworth Logistics Group LLC, founded in 1991 and headquartered in Dearborn, Michigan, is a privately held, 100% Native American-owned third-party logistics (3PL) provider serving automotive, aerospace, government, industrial, and retail customers. The company operates across 31 U.S. locations with a workforce of 3,000-4,000+ employees and manages over 10 million square feet of warehouse and production space, shipping 550+ million pieces annually. Its core service portfolio spans fulfillment and distribution, warehousing, contract packaging and kitting, fastener distribution, assembly and JIT delivery, reverse logistics, and program management, with recent adjacencies in industrial tape solutions and retail kitting. The company is NMSDC-certified as a minority business enterprise and holds Bronze-level Veteran Friendly Employer status (re-certified 2025), which functions as a structural differentiator for OEM and government supplier diversity programs.

The business operates on a quote-based, multi-year enterprise contract model with no publicly disclosed standard pricing. The go-to-market motion combines a dedicated direct enterprise sales force (VP Sales, multiple Directors of Sales, and a Director of International Sales covering Mexico) with event-driven demand generation through automotive, logistics, and retail industry conferences including BMW Supplier Xchange, National Postal Forum, RILA LINK, and MEMA events. Internationally, Hollingsworth runs a sales footprint in Mexico (Leon, Monterrey, Puebla, Mexico City) and operational sites including Tracy/Lathrop in Northern California, supporting cross-border OEM customers.

The technology foundation is built on SAP enterprise resource planning integrated with warehouse management systems and e-commerce integrations, accessed by enterprise customers through a dedicated login portal (scmp.hollingsworthllc.com). Ownership is concentrated under founder Stephen Barr (Chairman, CEO & Cofounder) and President Michael T. McNamara, with executive leadership drawn from prior roles at Price Waterhouse, Ernst & Young, and Joseph Mercy Hospital. The company has grown organically through facility expansions (Brownstown Township 2021, Columbus 2022 and Q1 2025, Dallas March 2025) and achieved ISO 14001:2015 environmental management certification in November 2025.
