USPack, a national leader in high speed final-mile logistics and NewSpring Holdings portfolio company today announced the acquisitions of Gumro & Associates and Freight Rite, further expanding its omni-channel retail logistics capabilities and national footprint. The acquisitions offer a new comprehensive stack of technology-enabled services never before available to retailers from a single provider, enabling efficiency and scalability to meet growing customer demand in a strong Delivery Economy.
USPack bolstered its retail logistics leadership with the acquisition of Gumro & Associates, a national provider of pool distribution and store replenishment solutions. “In today’s dynamic demand environment, retailers rely on our pool distribution solutions for flexible, cost-effective store replenishment,” said Ryan Gumro, CEO, Gumro & Associates. “We are thrilled to join forces with an industry leader like USPack that is committed to using advanced, proprietary technology solutions to improve the visibility, scalability and reliability of transportation logistics. Our customers are very excited about the addition of these robust capabilities to our nationwide delivery network.”
The strategic acquisition of Freight Rite supports USPack’s commitment to white-glove delivery and in-home installation. Since 1999, Freight Rite has been a regional home delivery leader for appliances, furniture, sporting equipment and electronics. “By partnering with an established, tech-enabled national player like USPack, we can quickly and easily expand our best-in-class operational strength to other markets and verticals,” said Brian Beerbower, CEO, Freight Rite.
With these acquisitions, USPack is uniquely positioned as an omni-channel Delivery Economy partner for retail and eCommerce. As a result, the firm welcomes large national retail partners to its customer roster in apparel, appliance, furniture, cosmetics, value merchandise and home improvement verticals. The company’s expanded retail service capabilities include store replenishment, parcel, deliver from store, white glove service and professional in-home installation. USPack will continually focus on network growth, industry-leading technology solutions, and adding new capabilities to further strengthen its service offering.
