Evans Distribution Systems helps customers enjoy a smoother glide through the supply chain by simplifying complex processes and delivering results efficiently. Just as our tagline suggests, “It’s easier with Evans.”

Our underlying philosophy boils down to this: make it easier for our customers to succeed by making it easier for our employees to provide the best service possible. This philosophy has evolved over four generations of family ownership and management, and it continues to be Evans’ greatest edge.

We’re a strategic partner closely involved in our clients’ supply chain decision-making, serving as their eyes and ears, anticipating supply chain challenges and proactively looking for opportunities to improve processes and increase profitability.

Heritage

From our founding in 1929, Evans Distribution Systems has evolved into a full-service third-party logistics provider offering warehousing, transportation, packaging, inspection, and staffing services. Our extensive and diverse experience with industries including automotive, chemicals, food & beverage, retail and others provides our customers with flexible, consistent service that helps them become more successful.

Now in our fourth generation of Evans family leadership, the company employs about 300 associates and operates approximately 2,000,000 square feet of space in Michigan, Virginia and other states across the U.S.

Innovation

Evans is particularly adept at meeting changing customer demands by adopting new technologies such as automation and high-tech inventory management systems that provide customers with real-time shipment visibility. Wireless and mobility are at the forefront of our warehousing operations. Packaging, inspection, labeling, assembly and customization save time and money. Our state-of-the-art WMS & TMS delivers real-time inventory tracking, customized reporting, event management, complete web visibility and some of the most flexible customized solutions available anywhere. Providing these extra services helps our clients better utilize their staff, freeing up time they can devote to other areas of their business.

Passion

The Evans team includes many long-time, dedicated employees devoted to providing the highest quality of service. This loyalty provides customers with confidence and comfort that the job will be handled right— no matter what. It’s a commitment that enables us to provide premium service: the right people, systems and programs are in place at the right time, every time.
