Core offering

Global Distribution & Warehousing is a privately owned third-party logistics (3PL) contract warehousing provider operating a single 500,000 square foot Food-Grade Packaging certified facility in Mississauga, Ontario. The company delivers integrated warehousing, storage, pick-and-pack, logistics, and inventory control services to international, national, and local manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. Its service portfolio is anchored by food-grade packaging storage, supported by general contract storage, order fulfillment, supply chain logistics, and a SQL-based warehouse management system with barcode scanning and EDI integration.

Product overview

Global Distribution & Warehousing operates as a single-location 3PL warehousing company offering an integrated suite of storage and logistics services from its 500,000 sq ft food-grade warehouse facility in Mississauga, Ontario. The core offering is organized around five interconnected services: (1) Storage of Food Grade Packaging is the company's specialized focus, maintaining the highest food-grade packaging standards; (2) General Contract Storage extends capability to non-food-grade commodities; (3) Pick and Pack Services handles order fulfillment; (4) Logistics Services manages supply chain planning and reverse logistics; and (5) Inventory Control Systems (WMS) provides the technology backbone — an SQL-based warehouse management system with barcoding, KPI reporting, and EDI support that ties all services together and is compatible with AS400, SAP, JD Edwards, and FootPrint enterprise systems.
