Driving Success Together: The Flourishing Partnership Between Aim Integrated Logistics and Millwood, Inc.
In a world dominated by corporate giants, two family-owned and -operated businesses have come together in a strategic business partnership. Aim’s integration with leading pallet provider, Millwood, Inc, announced in September, is now blossoming and expanding into the great state of Texas. What began as two Ohio-based companies, headquartered just 14 miles apart, recognizing the potential for mutual success through combined resources, knowledge, and experience has evolved into a multi-state expansion and a lasting bond forged between two expanding companies with small-town values.
Aim, founded on the values of accountability, integrity, commitment and trust, and the lumber company operating on the pillars of trust, servitude, discipleship and integrity entered into a strategic partnership aimed at expanding Millwood’s logistics and transportation operations. The collaboration marks a significant step towards enhancing efficiency, reducing costs, and ensuring the seamless movement of lumber products from manufacturing facilities to distribution centers and ultimately to retailers, and end customers.
Any dedicated contract carriage provider could have assisted in the aforementioned needs, but what makes this partnership unique is the synergy between these two corporations, and shared commitments to excellence, innovation and customer satisfaction.
“The shared cultures between Aim and Millwood makes this such a special relationship and a natural partnership,” said Director of National Accounts & Sales for Aim Integrated Logistics, Frank DeMain III. “We’re not just signing deals, increasing efficiency, and helping move product; we’re growing in tandem and forging lasting bonds between two long-time, family-owned companies- each with a similarly rich history.”
Both companies are fiercely dedicated to their employees and serving the communities in which they live and work. Aim Transportation Solutions, named to Newsweek’s list of Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces® in 2023, is also bringing career opportunities to the Waco and Austin areas, as they expand services. Positions for experienced CDL-A drivers, and more can be found on Aim’s careers page.
“When we expand a partnership like this, we’re not just taking over transportation operations,” said Pat Grandy Regional Vice President at Aim. “We’re merging ideals, providing career opportunities, and looking to create a seamless transition as our drivers and team members become a living representation of, not only Aim and our vision, values, and ideals, but those of our customer, as well. It helps when those values are so closely aligned.”
Aim Transportation Solutions looks forward to continuing to grow their partnership with Millwood, Inc. for years to come.
