Bergen Logistics features a cloud-based WMS (Warehouse Management System) for omni-channel supply chain solutions.

North Bergen, New Jersey. Monday, January 10, 2022 – Bergen Logistics has been named a Multichannel Merchant (MCM) Top 3PL for 2022, joining dozens of other leading third-party logistics providers selected by Multichannel Merchant in its seventh annual directory.

3PLs have seen significant growth in recent years as the massive shift to ecommerce and DTC fuels significant demand for outsourced fulfillment and logistics. MCM’s searchable directory can be sorted by various criteria, helping companies vet qualified, experienced 3PLs.

“If you’re looking for experienced, qualified 3PL partners as you deal with growth in your online business, lacking the internal resources or expertise to scale your operations, this listing is for you,” said Mike O’Brien, Senior Content Manager of MCM. “Each company has been selected based on its industry experience, services offered, performance and range of capabilities.”

The company profiles in the MCM Top 3PL directory include vital information to help companies in the selection process, including key services offered, average annual client order volume, top three merchandise categories handled, facility locations and more. It also breaks out the percentage of the continental U.S. covered based on days in transit to end customers, a critical differentiator for merchants. The directory is available throughout the year.

Press Release: Bergen Logistics Acquired by The Elanders Group

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

North Bergen, New Jersey.  Thursday, November 11, 2021

Bergen Logistics, a privately owned third party logistics firm headquartered in NJ, USA, announces its acquisition by The Elanders Group (Nasdaq ELAN-B.Stockholm).  The Elanders Group has over 6,000 employees in some 20 countries on four continents and annual net sales of over EUR 1 billion. Their most important markets are China, Singapore, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Germany, and the USA. Their major customers are active in the Automotive, Electronics, Fashion & Lifestyle, Health Care & Life Science and Industrial verticals.

The Elanders group has acquired an 80% ownership interest in Bergen; founder Ron Roman maintains a 20% stake in the company and will be CEO of the company.  This partnership will allow Bergen to continue building the world’s best order fulfillment company concentrated in Fashion and Lifestyle, with the financial support of a public company while maintaining Bergen’s core values as a company.  

Bergen Logistics specializes in mid-sized brands in Fashion & Lifestyle and has developed a unique platform that enables them to successfully manage a large number of customers in the segment.  Bergen Logistics operates primarily in the North American market (USA & Canada), but they also help their customers globally through their own unit in the Netherlands and through partners in Asia.

Ron Roman, Founder and principal owner of Bergen Logistics comments on the deal:

“I’m really proud of how the company has grown, and the unique platform Bergen Logistics has developed over the past 20 years. Today we’re one of the leading players in third party logistics solutions for Fashion & Lifestyle brands in North America. Together with Elanders’ global network we can expand even further by offering Elanders’ customers ready-made solutions in North America. We’ll also be able to offer our existing customers global solutions, which are increasingly in demand.”

Magnus Nilsson, President and CEO for Elanders also commented:

“I’m very impressed by the company Ron and Eli Roman have built. Putting Bergen Logistics together with our subsidiaries in Europe and Asia will make us a leading global actor in logistics solutions for companies in Fashion & Lifestyle, especially in E-Commerce. Fashion & Lifestyle is already the customer segment with the highest organic growth in Elanders, primarily driven by growth in E-Commerce. In the past year we’ve received quite a lot of requests from our European customers for help in establishing their companies on the North American market. As of tomorrow, we’ll be able to do just that. The acquisition of Bergen Logistics also means Elanders will broaden our customer base, which will make Elanders considerably less sensitive to ups and downs in the business cycle.”
