AJC Logistics

What AJC Logistics does

AJC Logistics is a privately held third-party logistics (3PL) provider headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, and operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of AJC Group. The company was launched in 2001 as the 3PL arm of AJC International (founded 1972) and today operates through a multi-brand platform: AJC Freight Solutions (domestic North America freight and cross-border shipping), Eagle Logistics Systems (Puerto Rico and global NVOCC), SeaWide Express (Alaska, Hawaii, and Guam FAK consolidation), Kano Trucking (Oahu, Hawaii last-mile delivery), and Tradecon Logistics (U.S.-Mexico cross-border). Services span trucking, ocean transportation as an NVOCC contracting with the top three global ocean carriers, temperature-controlled warehousing, and cross-border logistics. Annual revenue is approximately $175 million per a senior executive's public profile.

The company's core operational infrastructure centers on a 55,000 sq. ft. multi-zone temperature-controlled warehouse in Jacksonville, FL (AIB-accredited since 2010, expanded twice through 2019), supplemented by dedicated SeaWide Express facilities in La Habra, CA and Fife, WA (latter opened 2021 with 9 dock doors and heavy-duty forklifts to 8,000 lbs) and Tradecon Logistics operations in Laredo and Nuevo Laredo. Distribution relies on a sales-led B2B go-to-market with a brand portfolio targeting specific trade lanes rather than a unified consumer brand, supported by an exclusive FedEx Freight agency in Puerto Rico since 2009. Customer relationships include an exclusive Walmart/Sam's Club Puerto Rico logistics contract since 1998 and a Wayne Farms refrigerated export program since 2000.

The revenue model combines transaction-fee freight services and managed services (warehousing and supply-chain coordination), with pricing negotiated per shipment and not publicly disclosed. Lead generation is driven by a corporate website, LinkedIn presence for senior executives, industry affiliations (TIA, EPA SmartWay, C-TPAT, AIB International, FMCSA), and direct sales by general managers of each brand. Geographic restrictions (no personal effects, household goods, or automobiles) shape the addressable market toward B2B freight, with primary customer segments being food and protein suppliers, Jones Act trade shippers, and cross-border importers/exporters.
