Establish-Davis Marks 30 Years of Supply Chain and Logistics Management Consulting Services

Founded in 1975, Herbert W. Davis and Company quickly became one of the most trusted and reliable firms in the field of logistics—pioneering logistics cost and customer service benchmarking, distribution network modeling, and logistics best practices. Today, the firm’s client list is comprised of over 1,000 companies including some of the most recognized names in industry.

“This is truly a great milestone for our firm,” commented Bill Drumm, President of Establish-Davis’ North American office located in the New York area and a member of the firm since 1977. “Over the years, we have seen perceptions of logistics and supply chain management evolve from an afterthought for many executives, to a critical driver for competitive advantage and increased profits. Companies today see a well run supply chain as vital to the overall success of the business, and our firm has been at the forefront of that charge.”

Logistics costs for North American companies typically amount to five to ten percent of Net Sales, a statistic Establish-Davis has tracked by industry since the late 1970s. As the path from source to customer for most companies now stretches globally over great distances, management of the flow of goods has become much more complicated in recent years. Companies that seek to find improvement in increasingly complex supply chains, reduce their logistics costs and provide better service to their customers, turn to Establish-Davis for actionable improvement plans and results.

In 2000, Herbert W. Davis and Company merged with Establish, Inc, a leading European logistics management consulting firm. The Establish group today operates offices around the world, yet still maintains officer-level involvement in all of its client engagements.
