What Quantix SCS does
Quantix SCS (formerly A&R Logistics, founded 1969) is a chemical and bulk-liquid-focused supply chain platform headquartered in the United States and owned by Wind Point Partners since May 2019. The company provides asset-based transportation, warehousing, managed transportation, tank wash, and integrated supply chain solutions through more than 70 network locations across North America, supported by 5,400+ owned assets, 3,300+ partner carriers, and a workforce of 2,350+ employees plus contractors. It serves enterprise chemical, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical producers — including disclosed relationships with Dow, BASF, ExxonMobil, Chevron Phillips Chemical, Shell, Mitsubishi Chemical, Procter & Gamble, Trecora, and Epsilyte — under Responsible Care and ACC-aligned operating standards.
The company's technology stack centers on the Quantix Platform (launched March 2026), an AI-enabled logistics platform offering predictive ETAs, anomaly detection, and TMS connectivity, layered over the Gravity analytics database, which tracks more than $24 billion in lifetime freight spend across chemical and pharmaceutical lanes. The managed transportation business (formerly CLX Logistics, rebranded Quantix Managed Solutions in July 2025) accounts for roughly $500 million in annual freight under management and contributes the technology and analytics layer atop the asset-heavy core.
Quantix generates revenue through a mix of asset-based transportation pricing (per-mile, per-load, demurrage, storage), warehousing and terminal fees, managed transportation service fees on brokered freight, and tank wash service revenue. Go-to-market is enterprise B2B, anchored on long-dated contracts with tier-1 chemical and pharma producers, and supplemented by an aggressive inorganic growth program that has completed 11 acquisitions under Wind Point ownership. The company completed a financial restructuring in 2026 alongside a CEO transition to Nate Gesse effective July 20, 2026.
