GSC, a prominent nationwide 3PL, revealed its expansion to the East Coast, further solidifying its national presence. Renowned as one of the largest 3PLs in Northern California, GSC specializes in drayage and transload services. Following the acquisition of MacMillan-Piper, GSC has now become a major player in the Pacific Northwest, offering drayage and transload services to the Seattle and Tacoma ports.
In a strategic move, GSC, a leading nationwide 3PL, has announced its entry into the bustling Savannah container gateway, the third busiest in the U.S. Savannah has become a pivotal hub for companies seeking to diversify import/export strategies, a crucial step in mitigating supply chain disruptions arising from environmental, geopolitical, and labor impacts.
With over 35 years of operation in Northern California and a decade in the Pacific Northwest, GSC, bolstered by the acquisition of MacMillan-Piper and its 55 years of experience, is set to replicate its successful strategies in the Savannah market. The company’s expansion aligns with Savannah’s proactive economic development initiatives, making it a prime location for long-term growth.
Scott Taylor, founder and CEO of GSC, emphasized the importance of agility in supply chain management: “Our clients recognize the need to diversify strategies for flexibility. Opening an office in Savannah allows us to extend our Gold Standard Service to the third busiest container gateway in the U.S., contributing to the city’s economic growth.”
Cliff Pyron, Chief Commercial Officer at the Georgia Ports Authority, expressed enthusiasm about welcoming established companies like GSC, stating, “We’re excited about the additional business opportunities and expertise companies like GSC will bring to our container gateway.”
Savannah Mayor Van R. Johnson, II, highlighted the economic growth in the area, emphasizing the commitment to providing more job opportunities. He stated, “Helping businesses succeed is beneficial for everyone.”
This move marks GSC’s first venture as a Motor Carrier at the Port of Savannah, with plans for further expansion to include other Southeast ports such as Charleston, Norfolk on the East Coast, and the Port of Houston on the Gulf Coast. The expansion reflects GSC’s dedication to supporting the growth of the Port of Savannah and reinforcing its commitment to fostering resilient and efficient supply chains.
