Top 10 Things you Should Know About Evans
WE HAVE STAYING POWER!
The first Evans' company, Central Detroit Warehouse, started up in 1929 in Detroit, Michigan.
Starting a business during the Great Depression and having the leadership in place to keep it going
for 81 years says a lot about a company, and we plan to continue operating for many, many more years to come.
OUR EMPLOYEES ARE THE BEST!
Experience matters when it comes to the people you trust to handle your products, and we aren't ashamed to
boast about our employees at all. Our employees average 15 years in the industry and we take great pride in
hiring the best and brightest throughout the company from our managers all the way to our warehouse workers and truck drivers.
SIZE DOESN'T MATTER!
Our customers don't fit within a mold when it comes to their size. We work with entrepreneurs just getting their
start to some of the largest corporations in the world. We enjoy helping the smallest companies figure out the
best way to get off the ground, just as much as we enjoy helping large corporations simplify their supply chains.
All our customers are important, no matter their size.
WE AREN'T JUST A WAREHOUSE!
The days of just offering customers a building to store their products in are LONG GONE! Besides bringing
your products in/out of our warehouse on our trucks, we can also package your products, help you with inspection/testing
on your products, and our most recent service offering involves helping you staff your own operations with qualified
logistics personnel. We are always looking for new and unique services that bring value to the core services we provide.
FLEXIBILITY IS KEY TO OUR SERVICE!
Consider Evans the contortionist of the logistics world. Allowing customers flexible options on space,
trucks and even staffing is extremely important in today's economy and we provide this in spades.
QUALITY IS KING!
Whether internally or externally, we focus heavily on our quality standards. Ensuring we meet our ISO
9001:2000 standards is actually just a small piece of our quality commitment. Listening to our customers
is the first step in ensuring we continue to provide top-notch quality service. Never hesitate to let us
know what you think, good or bad, it helps us grow!
INNOVATION MOVES YOU FORWARD!
After 81 years Evans has learned a thing or two about innovation. When we sit down with a prospective customer,
or at a review session with current customers this is always something we are thinking about. Whether it's new
technology or a new process that saves money or time we are always thinking of ways that we can help our
customers adapt and move into the future.
VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE!
We like to keep things interesting around here, and one of the ways we do this is by working with multiple
industries. Back in the day we specialized in mainly automotive, but that's no longer the case.
Today we are handling clothing and other consumer goods for retail stores, food and beverage products,
paper, robotics, and even biological pest control agents (a.k.a. BUGS)!
HAVE EVANS, WILL TRAVEL!
We love our hometown state of Michigan, but we don't just operate here. When we hear about a customer
looking to expand into another area, we would like to be right along with them. This is the kind of
thing that took us into Norfolk, VA back in 2004 and we continue to grow in this market today.
Whether it's trucking, warehousing or staffing we are interested in opportunities across the U.S.
IT'S EASIER WITH EVANS!
This is our mantra here at Evans and is one of the biggest reasons behind making Inbound Logistics'
list of Top 100 3PL Providers for the past 7 years. We work hard everyday to ensure we are offering
you the services, flexibility, quality, and innovative solutions you need to ensure you’re at your best.
By working as a seamless extension of your own company our goal is to always make sure things are EASIER for you!
I've never seen a company that has been so dedicated to helping us help our customers
