Los Angeles, CA – NRI, a leading 3PL specializing in premium apparel, footwear, and accessories fulfillment has announced its expansion into Europe and the United Kingdom.
NRI plans to leverage their technology, Aspire, giving clients a single global platform to support their distribution needs across continents. With local operator expertise and a shared vision towards brand building, people development and supply chain sustainability – NRI is excited to go abroad.
“We are in the people business and there is nothing as important as having the right operators to ensure success. Local expertise, infrastructure and a proven network are essential. We have spent the last few years meeting with and identifying local operators with the intention of forming an NRI international joint venture to support the fast paced and agile needs of our brand partners as we expand within the region,” said Chris Maydaniuk, NRI CEO.
NRI will be joining forces with the Walker family based out of Membury, UK. The Walkers have been operating Walker Logistics, a second generation run, family owned and operated 3PL based in the United Kingdom over the past 25 years. Their operations are headquartered on a historical WW2 airfield where allied forces participated in the D-Day landings across Normandy.
Maydaniuk went on to say “The Walker operation is an extension of our culture and values; their approach to business and partnerships echo back to NRI. It was a very natural fit, and we are thrilled to enter a joint venture and see NRI UK and NRI EU become a reality for our brands.”
Charlie Walker of the Walker family added, “We are incredibly excited to partner with NRI, this is a relationship that has grown over the last few years, from day one it was clear that our collective peoples are very well aligned in their approach to business, core values and establishing long term relationships.”
NRI is excited to provide their brand partners access to more global customers through their centralized global Aspire platform – shipping to commence Fall 2024.
