“What Customers are Saying”…..

“The Allen Group understands logistics and our operations. Partnering with The Allen Group allows us to focus on our core business of moving goods and supplies to our wholesale customers cost effectively and faster because of their strategic location and proximity to air and rail. The group is made up of individuals who are responsive and with whom you can communicate. A concern of yours is a priority concern of theirs. While others claim these benefits, The Allen Group delivers with hands-on, personal attention by understanding our needs and our company.”
Claude Eastridge, General Manager, BWGS

 

“We know and trust The Allen Group having worked with them over the past year. TAG provided us with a high level of customer service; and the company has a vast amount of knowledge determining a sophisticated logistics user’s needs. They did an outstanding job managing our facility’s build-out process for us as we are located 2000 miles away!”
Tony Heldreth, Supply Chain Transformation Manager, Formica Corporation

 

“The Allen Group’s distribution center provides our company with the infrastructure we need to continue to grow our business. TAG understands the importance of strategic hubs located on or near major trade routes that provide our distribution center with immediate access to transportation and trade corridors and in our case, 24-hour guaranteed service to maintain and support our numerous customers.”
Steve Hood, WorkflowOne Real Estate

 

“We selected TAG’s MidState 99 Distribution Center due to its direct access to Highway 99, the state’s major trucking corridor. Uniquely, MidState 99 allows us the ability to efficiently serve 98 percent of California overnight — reaching 35 million people within a 300-mile radius. This allows us to deliver our products more effectively, less costly and in less time.”
