What The Gilbert Company does

The Gilbert Company is described in firmographic data as a US-based, private supply chain services provider for the retail sector, headquartered in Keasbey, New Jersey, founded in 1986, with 101-250 employees. The substantive operational data available in the input, however, describes a substantially larger contract logistics and third-party logistics (3PL) platform operating as a subsidiary of SNCF Group, the French state-owned national railway, under the GEODIS brand. The platform runs 150+ US distribution centers spanning more than 50 million square feet of warehouse space, organized around 20+ multi-client campus environments and dedicated facilities, with strategic gateways near the ports of Long Beach, Port Newark, and Miami.

The service portfolio spans warehousing, fulfillment and omnichannel logistics (B2B, B2C, D2C), customized and value-added services (kitting, assembly, custom packaging, labeling, display building), reverse logistics, Foreign-Trade Zone operations, warehouse automation solutions, and on-demand warehousing. The technology stack combines an enterprise Warehouse Management System integrated via EDI, API, and web services with client ERP/OMS systems; a proprietary Visibility Portal providing 24x7 real-time KPI dashboards; and a hardware layer including Locus Robotics goods-to-person robots, pick-to-light, voice picking, RFID tracking, automated sortation, and tunnel scanners. Predictive analytics is referenced for demand forecasting and inventory optimization. Operations process approximately 150 million orders, 2.6 billion units, and 60+ million D2C orders annually, reaching 99.5% of the US population within two-day delivery and managing 100,000+ temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical pallets per year. Certifications include ISO 9001, ISO 14001, C-TPAT, FDA registration, AIB, and TAPA-A.

Revenue is generated through custom enterprise contracts based on facility utilization, order volume, and service complexity, with multi-year contract terms and flexible scaling provisions. The company sells exclusively through direct enterprise field sales with dedicated account teams, targeting Fortune 100 companies and operating with a stated 95% annual client retention rate and many relationships exceeding 10 years. The customer base spans eight verticals — retail and eCommerce, healthcare and pharmaceutical, high tech and electronics, manufacturing and industrial, automotive and mobility, FMCG, luxury and high-value goods, and aerospace and defense — with Gregg Prisco identified as President and CEO.
