Food & Beverage
Major Midwest Food Processor
Opening the East Coast Market Through Rail-Connected Warehousing
The Challenge
A major Midwest food processor needed flour storage on the East Coast to better serve regional customers, but was reluctant to invest in their own facility. Since most of their flour moved by rail, they needed a 3PL partner with rail siding capability.
Our Solution
ELM built a fully customized solution — securing pesticide licensing and training staff on hazardous materials handling, and obtaining ASI certification to meet strict food-grade warehouse sanitation requirements. ELM’s WMS delivered the lot control needed to track goods by manufacturing date, while ELM coordinated inbound rail and outbound local trucking to meet the client’s just-in-time needs.

Spanish Fragrance Company
Powering a US Market Launch with Turnkey Value-Added Services
The Challenge
A Spanish fragrance company needed a logistics partner to manage its US launch — including assembling customer-specific retail displays from product shipped overseas, with each retail account requiring different packaging and labeling configurations.
Our Solution
ELM handled the full turnkey process: unboxing product, assembling display racks, configuring clamshell packaging, applying customer-specific UPC and security tags, and filling and shrink-wrapping the finished racks for retail shipment.

Major Camera Manufacturer
Streamlining Returns with End-to-End Reverse Logistics
The Challenge
A major overseas camera manufacturer needed NY-area capability to manage the disposition of customer-returned merchandise flagged as defective. ELM established a structured returns process to receive, inspect, and manage inventory efficiently. This gave the client better visibility, faster turnaround, and a dependable solution for handling returned products.
Our Solution
ELM’s value-added team built a testing process for all returned goods against factory specifications. Non-defective items are repacked and returned to resale channels; defective items go through repair before being repacked and resold — giving the client a fully managed returns lifecycle.
