At Buske Logistics, we are excited to share the news of our recent acquisition of Hydra, a trusted name in the warehousing industry. This strategic move marks a significant milestone in our journey, expanding our capabilities and further solidifying our position as a leading third-party logistics (3PL) provider.
With this acquisition, Buske Logistics welcomes five new warehouses into our portfolio, increasing our total number of locations to 35 and adding 1.5 million square feet of space to our operations.
For 54 years, Hydra has built a reputation for dependable service and unwavering commitment to its clients. We are honored to continue this legacy, and we understand the importance of maintaining the high standards that Hydra's customers have come to expect.
Our goal is to ensure a seamless transition for Hydra’s clients by integrating their operations into Buske’s proven systems while preserving the personalized service that Hydra is known for.
At Buske, we recognize the value of the long-standing relationships Hydra has cultivated, and we are committed to nurturing these partnerships. By leveraging our extensive experience in contract warehousing and retail logistics, we aim to build on Hydra’s successes and explore new opportunities for growth in the retail, food, beverage, and alcohol and spirits sectors.
One of the most valuable assets Hydra brings to Buske is its team of 110 skilled professionals. We are excited to welcome these new team members into the Buske family, where their expertise and dedication will play a crucial role in our continued success. We are committed to supporting the Hydra team through this transition and providing them with the resources and opportunities they need to thrive within our organization.
Buske Logistics has always valued the importance of a strong, cohesive workforce, and we believe that retaining Hydra's talented employees is essential to maintaining the quality of service that our clients expect. We look forward to the fresh perspectives and innovative ideas that our new colleagues will bring to the table, enhancing our ability to serve our clients more effectively.
With the addition of Hydra’s five warehouses, Buske now boasts a total storage capacity of over 7.5 million square feet. This expansion not only enhances our ability to meet the growing demands of our clients but also positions us to offer even more comprehensive solutions across the supply chain.
Whether it’s providing advanced inventory management, streamlining order fulfillment, or offering scalable warehousing options, we are better equipped than ever to meet the diverse needs of our clients.
Hydra also brings a fleet of trailers that will enhance our delivery capabilities, ensuring that our vendors receive their goods promptly and efficiently. Moreover, Hydra’s expertise in repacking operations and quality inspections will reinforce Buske's existing operations across the country, allowing us to maintain the highest standards of product integrity and customer satisfaction.
At Buske Logistics, we understand that cutting-edge technology is key to optimizing supply chain operations. We utilize advanced systems like Synapse 3PL Expert and NetSuite to manage inventory, streamline order fulfillment, and provide scalable warehousing solutions. These technologies offer real-time visibility into our operations, enabling our clients to make data-driven decisions and maintain control over their supply chains.
By integrating Hydra’s operations into our existing technological framework, we are not only preserving their legacy but also enhancing it with tools that drive efficiency, accuracy, and growth. This integration ensures that Hydra’s clients will continue to receive the high-quality service they are accustomed to, now backed by Buske’s state-of-the-art logistics technology.
The acquisition also strengthens our presence in the Louisville and Frankfort markets, key strategic locations for many of our clients. By expanding our footprint in these areas, we can provide even better access to critical distribution networks, reducing transit times and costs for our clients. This increased local capacity allows us to offer more tailored solutions to businesses in these markets, supporting their growth and helping them stay competitive in a fast-paced industry.
As we embark on this exciting new chapter, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Frank and Linda Dodd, along with the entire Hydra team, for entrusting us with the continuation of their legacy. It is a privilege to build on the strong foundation they have established, and we are committed to preserving the values and principles that have made Hydra a respected name in the industry.
At Buske Logistics, our mission has always been to deliver exceptional logistics solutions that drive success for our clients. With the acquisition of Hydra, we are more confident than ever in our ability to do just that. We look forward to the opportunities this acquisition brings, not only for our company but for our clients and partners as well.
Thank you for being a part of our journey. Together, we will continue to set new standards of excellence in the logistics industry.
