White Glove Transportation

What White Glove Transportation does

White Glove Transportation Services, Inc. is a Brooklyn, New York-headquartered, privately held specialty logistics company founded around 1993 that provides blanket-wrap delivery, receiving, warehousing, fine furniture restoration, expedited and international shipping, and private-client household relocation services. The company serves three primary customer segments — interior design firms, luxury furniture and lighting showrooms, and high-net-worth private clients — with a 20-plus-name enterprise client roster concentrated in New York's residential interior design market (e.g., Sara Story Design, Soucie Horner, Joy Moyler Interiors, Peter Pennoyer Architects, Nicole Hollis, Ken Fulk).

The firm's operating platform combines a 30,000-square-foot temperature-controlled warehouse in Brooklyn with 24-hour video surveillance, a proprietary barcode-driven digital inventory system, an online client portal providing real-time photography and multi-format export, and an in-house team of trained and licensed artisans for restoration work. All transportation is executed by company-employed drivers and crews with no subcontracted labor, with daily Tri-State routes, weekly Northeast service, bi-weekly service to Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard, and scheduled national lanes to Florida, Chicago, and California, plus international lanes via the firm's International Association of Movers membership.

White Glove generates revenue primarily through custom-quoted, project-based pricing for luxury furniture delivery and installation, managed warehousing and storage subscriptions, professional services in fine furniture restoration and expedited/international shipping, and full-service private household relocation. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales and direct-to-consumer outreach, with acquisition dominated by word-of-mouth referrals from existing design-firm clients. No external funding, parent company, or institutional ownership has been disclosed.

Direct peers

• Cadogan Tate: Luxury art and antique logistics specialist serving private collectors, galleries, and interior designers with white-glove transport, storage, and installation. Closely aligned with WGT's luxury furniture logistics offering and HNW customer segment.
• Artistic Moving & Storage: Art and antique moving specialist providing blanket-wrap services for galleries, designers, and private clients. Direct overlap with WGT in furniture and art logistics for the design trade.
• Starving Artists Movers: Specialty art and antique mover serving galleries, designers, and private collectors with white-glove handling. Comparable niche focus on high-value, fragile items requiring careful transport and installation.
• Forte Specialty Movers: Specialty mover focused exclusively on interior designers and high-end residential clients, providing blanket-wrap delivery and installation services. Comparable niche positioning and customer base to White Glove Transportation.

Broad incumbents

• Bekins Van Lines: National household goods carrier offering white-glove and premium residential moving services through its agent network. A larger incumbent that competes with WGT for HNW relocation work but lacks the interior-design vertical focus.
• Craters & Freighters: National specialty crating, packing, and shipping franchise handling high-value and fragile items. Overlap with WGT's expedited crating and shipping service line but at broader scale and without the designer-focus.

Regional players

• Weleski Moving & Storage: Pittsburgh-based premium mover with white-glove residential and commercial services. Comparable service quality for HNW clients but primarily serves a different regional market than WGT's Northeast core.
