What Propak does

Propak is a private U.S. logistics, transportation, and supply chain management company providing an integrated services portfolio that spans reverse logistics, warehousing, transportation, packaging, and proprietary technology. The company operates more than 50 facilities and over 1 million square feet of warehouse space across North America, including in Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa, with stated primary coverage concentrated in the Midwest and Western half of the U.S. Its customer base is enterprise and mid-market, organized around four vertical solutions: Retail, Automotive, Reusable Packaging, and Manufacturing.

The core service offering combines operated assets (warehousing, packaging operations, pallet sort-and-repair, on-site manufacturing support) with multi-modal transportation (truckload, LTL, air, ocean, dedicated contract carriage, freight brokerage, load planning, consolidation/distribution). Revenue is generated through a mix of managed-services fees for warehousing, value-added services, and on-site operations, plus transaction-based transportation fees and brokerage commissions. Pricing is custom and quoted per engagement under multi-year contracts; no standard pricing tiers are publicly disclosed.

Propak builds and maintains an internal technology capability including custom platforms, TMS/WMS development, EDI handling across all major codes, GPS/cellular asset tracking, mobile/web applications, analytics, KPI dashboards, and network optimization. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with dedicated account management, 24x7 operational support, and on-site process improvement. The company is a participant in the EPA SmartWay Transport Partnership. The privately held company is led by founder and CEO Steven W. Clark; ownership and headcount within the 1,001–5,000 employee band are not otherwise disclosed.
