Logisicts Wins Wars

Back in World War I, General John J. Pershing nailed it: Logistics wins wars. He wasn't talking about flashy tactics or big speeches—he meant getting the right stuff to the right place at the right time, no excuses. Armies fall apart without that backbone. The same goes for business today. Your supply chain isn't just a cost—it's your frontline. Mess it up, and you're done. Get it right, and you dominate.

At GWSI, we've been in the trenches for over 30 years, starting as a warehousing outfit and growing into a full-service supply chain partner. We're privately owned, which means we answer to our clients, not shareholders chasing quarterly wins. We own our warehouses, our trucks (a fleet of 150+), and even heavy-lift cranes for the tough loads others won't touch. No middlemen, no finger-pointing. Just results.

Think about it: In war, logistics means moving ammo and food through mud and chaos. In your world, it's handling oversized forest products, temperature-controlled beverages, or automotive parts that can't afford delays. We've got direct rail access with indoor loading to keep things moving rain or shine. We manage thousands of containers and railcars every year, cutting costs and emissions with eco-friendly rail options. Our hybrid model mixes dedicated and shared services, so you get exactly what you need without overpaying.

Did You Know?

Our primary warehouse just outside Philadelphia—in Chester—was once the Ford Motor Company assembly plant. During World War II, that facility shifted from building cars to producing and preparing military hardware: tanks, trucks, armored vehicles, and more for the war effort. Ford's Chester plant cranked out thousands of these units to keep Allied forces supplied.

Today, we carry on that same spirit of getting critical loads where they need to be, no matter the challenge. What started as wartime production lines now handles oversized forest products, heavy metals, ag commodities, and temperature-controlled freight—still moving thousands of railcars and containers yearly, still built on ownership and execution. The building's history reminds us: logistics has always been about winning the long fight.

Solving the Hard Problems

We don't just store and ship—we solve the hard stuff. Freight forwarding through global ports? Done. Customs brokerage to dodge tariff headaches? We turn them into advantages with bonded warehousing. E-commerce fulfillment? We integrate with your systems via EDI and APIs for real-time tracking and zero surprises. Supply chain consulting? We'll audit your ops and fix the leaks that are bleeding your profits.

Take our special projects logistics: We've handled over 150 oversized loads this month alone—a 23% jump from last. That's not luck; it's owning the gear and know-how to lift heavy metals or awkward agricultural gear without drama. We're not here to pat ourselves on the back—we're here to make your life easier.

In 2026, supply chains are more brutal than ever: Disruptions from weather, regulations, or global shifts hit hard. But like Pershing knew, winning comes down to preparation and execution. GWSI serves industries from food and beverage to plastics and energy, in over 25 countries. We boost efficiency by 15% on average, because we focus on what matters—your bottom line.
