Third Party Logistics (3PL)
In today's marketplace, certain convenience retailers are investigating and implementing alternate business and logistics support models. Third Party Logistics, 3PL, is one primary example. Core-Mark is uniquely positioned and experienced in this arena of supply chain management.
Core-Mark currently operates two 3PL distribution facilities. One located in Phoenix, Arizona, referred to as the ADC, is solely dedicated to supporting the logistics and management requirements of one of our major customers, Circle K. The second third party logistics distribution facility recently opened in April 2005 and is located in San Antonio, Texas. This operation is referred to as the Valero Retail Distribution Facility, or RDC, which is dedicated solely to supporting another major customer, Valero.
3PL is an exciting partnership that maximizes opportunities and forges powerful synergies for the progressive retail organization.
