What CJ Logistics America does

CJ Logistics America is the U.S. operating arm of CJ Logistics, a logistics subsidiary of South Korean conglomerate CJ Group, headquartered in Des Plaines, Illinois with 1,281 employees. The company is a business-to-business third-party logistics (3PL) provider that delivers integrated, multimodal supply chain services — warehousing, fulfillment, transportation, customs brokerage, and freight forwarding — across air, sea, and land. It serves enterprise customers, with stated focus on consumer brands entering the U.S. market, highly-regulated industries, and e-commerce/omnichannel retailers, plus a secondary segment in enterprise supply chain optimization.

Its solution portfolio is organized into three pillars: Warehousing and Fulfillment Solutions (warehouse management, supply chain packaging, e-commerce/omnichannel, public warehousing, greenfield warehouse execution, and warehouse engineering & automation); Transportation Solutions (managed transportation, asset-based transportation, cross-border transportation, freight forwarding, and customs brokerage); and Integrated Supply Chain Solutions (consulting, business intelligence, TES — technology/engineering/systems/solutions, retail consolidation, business process integration, and industry insights). Underlying technology includes proprietary warehouse management and transportation management systems, 24/7 track-and-trace visibility, and business intelligence tooling; the company integrates engineering and consulting expertise with execution capabilities. The asset-based fleet supports regional distribution, last-mile, dedicated fleet, refrigerated transport, and drayage.

CJ Logistics America generates revenue through managed services and transaction-fee arrangements, including warehousing and fulfillment fees, transportation fees (both asset-based and managed), customs and freight forwarding fees, and supply chain consulting/professional services. Pricing is quote-based, tailored to customer volume and service scope, with multi-year contracts typical of enterprise 3PL engagements. The go-to-market is consultative enterprise field sales, complemented by corporate website, newsroom, social, and customer testimonial channels. The company has been recognized as a G75 Green Supply Chain Partner by Inbound Logistics for 16 consecutive years and reports best-in-class safety performance (Total Incident Rate).
