Central Pennsylvania’s Premier 3PL Provider

Moran Logistics is a three-generation, family owned and operated asset based third party Logistics provider based in central Pennsylvania. Founded in 1975 by John “Jack” D. Moran and Maureen F. Moran, Moran Logistics was formed in order to provide businesses in need of supply chain solutions with an unsurpassed quality of service, regardless of the scope of the need. This “Whatever It Takes” approach to partnership with our customers has served as Moran Logistics’ foundation for operation for over forty years and continues to shape the company to this day.

Today, Moran Logistics operates over 5 million square feet of storage space in numerous locations across Pennsylvania. Unlike most 3PL providers, Moran Logistics has consistently differentiated itself through the implementation of value-added services that promote a lean supply chain and ensure the seamless flow of goods for its customers. This strategy of going above and beyond for our customers has optimized success, allowing Moran Logistics’ operational capabilities to go far beyond the normal scope of a 3PL provider.
