Stryker Logistics started in 2015 as a one-person operation with a phone and a plan. Today it's a full-service third-party logistics (3PL) company headquartered in Bowling Green, Kentucky, handling freight brokerage and warehousing under one roof. That growth led to a $1.5 million headquarters expansion on Dishman Lane, creating 50 new jobs and cementing Stryker's place in the Bowling Green business community.
As a 3PL, Stryker acts as an extension of our clients' supply chain. We source carriers, negotiate rates, and manage freight movement so businesses don't have to build that infrastructure themselves. Full truckload service runs across sprinter vans, box trucks, 53' dry vans, flatbeds, conestogas, and reefers, all tracked 24/7 with real-time updates.
Our warehousing side rounds out the 3PL model. The Bowling Green facility handles repacking, relabeling, sorting, kitting, and quality control inspections. We break down bulk shipments, rebuild pallets to spec, and provide short and long-term storage, giving clients flexible outsourced logistics support instead of managing it in-house.
Ten years in, Stryker Logistics is still on Dishman Lane, still delivering freight from A to B, worry free. We're proud to call Bowling Green home and proud to sponsor Rise & Shine BG.
