Broad incumbents

• C.H. Robinson: Large global freight forwarder and 3PL offering ocean/air forwarding, customs brokerage, and warehousing across many verticals — overlaps with Ampac's import/export and managed warehouse services but at much broader scale.
• Expeditors International: Global freight forwarder with strong ocean/air export capabilities and customs brokerage — comparable to Ampac's import/export and door-to-door international services, though operating at significantly greater scale.

• Roadie (UPS): Crowdsourced same-day and last-mile delivery platform now owned by UPS — adjacent competitor for bulky/white-glove home-furnishings last-mile delivery where Ampac currently relies on its own team and carrier partners.
