The story begins in Rochester, Minnesota when John U. Steiner purchased a 1946 Ford truck. The truck was first used to haul corn to the Twin Cities and apples from Bayfield, Wisconsin to Rochester. From the start, the Milwaukee operation provided storage as well as hauling services. To meet the growing demand, a warehouse and office building was constructed, and by 1956, our operational headquarters were moved from Rochester to its current Milwaukee site.
Operations continued to grow throughout the 1970's and 1980's. To serve the distribution needs of specific customers, new offices were opened around the country. At each location, the full range of our services was offered to the local market, broadening the customer base served by the companies.
The 1990’s saw a period of wide spread business growth and Ace Worldwide had to take a more strategic approach to developing a value added, logistics service to our client base. The challenge of the dot-com downtown, in the 00’s, resulted in a leaner more focused service offering and coincided with the current generation of the Steiner family taking leadership roles.
By 2010 logistics had matured into a solid service offering comprising of Warehousing, Distribution, Crating & Packaging and Transportation. It was time to give this capability it’s own brand and AW2 Logistics came into being.
AW2 Logistics is now recognized as an innovative player in the field servicing a wide range of industries such as Healthcare, Hospitality, Ecommerce, Retail, Manufacturing and Freight Forwarding.
What are the key elements of our success over the years? A commitment to continuous improvement, a desire to learn and a willingness to listen. Discover the benefits of a partnership with AW2 Logistics for yourself.
