MilwaukeeWarehouse is a warehouse and distribution services company, providing order fulfillment and warehouse distribution services for food-grade, retail, industrial steel and general commodities in the Milwaukee and southeastern Wisconsin markets.
What factors have contributed the most to your growth in the past three years?
John Arcuri, president: “The uncertainty of the supply chain has created an enormous demand for warehouse space from manufacturers who are stockpiling raw materials closer to home. Also, manufacturers continue to place greater emphasis on their core manufacturing business, outsourcing the activities, like warehouse and distribution, that are not a component of their expertise.”
How has your company navigated the challenges of the past few years?
“The company continues to fight the supply chain challenges and tight labor markets. We use customer-supplied forecasting to ensure we meet all required demands while continually updating and monitoring current material lead times. The labor market continues to be tight, but our current staff does a good job of achieving our production goals.”
What are the biggest obstacles to your company’s continued growth?
“Two obstacles: A stagnant economy translates to fewer goods moving through the supply chain. And finding talent.”
