BIG ENOUGH FOR ANY JOB

SMALL ENOUGH TO DO IT RIGHT

ABOUT JBS

WHO WE ARE

Hi, nice to meet you. We are a company built from the ground up by Chicago business partners Alec Gizzi and Sam DiMaio. Our employees are like family - literally! JBS started in 1986 as a family owned and operated small business, with some "OG" employees now in leadership today. That means we have been helping customers optimize their supply chain for over 35 years. We value honesty with our customers, integrity within in the industry, and quality work to get the job done.

WHAT WE DO

JBS is the Chicago area warehousing division of Koch Logistics, a full-service 3PL that provides clients with the highest quality customer service and supply chain solutions including international shipping, drayage, intermodal, trucking, warehousing, fulfillment, and retail services. Our clients benefit from a logistics partner that is big enough to do anything, but small enough to do it right.
