PROFILE |
 |
DSC Logistics (formerly Dry Storage Corp.) provides logistics services -- warehousing, distribution, transportation -- on a contract basis. Customers are manufacturers in markets such as chemicals, industrial supplies, and food service, such as Philip Morris, Nabisco, and Pillsbury. The company's electronic data interchange systems and radio communications monitor each loads' stop along the distribution trail. DSC also creates custom displays and packaging for marketing and promotions, generates computerized inventory reports, and offers labor planning. DSC founder Jim McIlrath quit his job in 1960 to start the company after a former boss refused to offer dry storage along with refrigerated storage services.
