Salt Lake City-based Visible Supply Chain Management (VSCM) has acquired IntegraCore, a provider of business-to-consumer order fulfillment and shipping services. With facilities in Utah and Georgia, IntegraCore’s operations will be incorporated into VSCM’s vertical integration system, including parcel service, personalized fulfillment solutions, logistics strategies and custom packaging options, VSCM said in a release.
Visible Supply Chain Management was founded in 2002 and employs about 160 at its Salt Lake City headquarters. IntegraCore’s headquarters are in West Jordan, where the company was started in 1989 as IntegraCore Fulfillment.
“This is an acquisition of a firm that is highly compatible with our own,” said Jared Starling, CEO of VSCM. “One of the many reasons we are so in favor of the arrangement is because VSCM can quickly grow from moving 55 million packages per year domestically to about 80 million packages per year domestically. That’s a 30 percent increase in shipping volume alone.”
With the addition of IntegraCore’s assets, VSCM will have an annual sales volume of about $300 million, over 1 million square feet of warehouse space dedicated to business-to-consumer fulfillment and thousands of customers across the supply chain spectrum.
“We always put customers’ needs first, and this acquisition is a reflection of that core value,” said VSCM president Casey Adams. “Moving forward, we will have even greater access to innovative solutions that can optimize a wide range of supply chain needs. But, most importantly, our clients can still rely on the same personal working relationships and high-quality service as always.”
