Brian Everett, Publisher, Food Chain Digest Senior Partner, MindShare Strategies
Welcome to the 2025-2026 Warehousing & Distribution Buyer’s Guide!
Part of our mission at Food Shippers of America (FSA) is to bring together supply chain professionals in the food and beverage industry through relevant education, networking and access to industry resources. This includes helping FSA members to make connections with potential and existing supply chain partners and providers—ranging from warehousing, distribution and materials handling providers to those specializing in inventory control, robotics, site selection, packaging, omnichannel, e-commerce, YMS, consultants, cross-docking, technology innovators, and related associations. Supply chain decision-makers turn to the FSA community to find these partners and providers in various ways, including the annual Food Shippers Conference, informal networking with their member peers, and through advertising in Food Chain Digest (FSA’s official print and digital magazine) and the Food For Thought e-newsletter. New this year, we’ve launched the Food Chain Warehousing & Distribution
Buyer’s Guide in edition 3 of Food Chain Digest to help advertisers to get their message to qualified supply chain buyers in the food industry who are in search of their services, products and value.
This is an excellent opportunity for us to bring value to these supply chain decision-makers. I encourage you to use this Buyer’s Guide as you’re searching for new warehousing, distribution and food supply chain partners and resources. It’s important to note companies listed in this buyer’s guide are not in any way officially endorsed by FSA.
We hope you find this 2025-26 Food Chain Warehousing and Distribution Buyer’s Guide beneficial as you manage the strategies and initiatives involving your organization’s supply chain. We also encourage you to visit FoodShippers.org to access additional resources.
