Barrett Distribution Centers, established in 1941 as a third-party logistics provider (3PL), has announced a new partnership with Levenger, a company renowned for its exceptional writing instruments and office supplies. This collaboration is set to enhance Levenger’s supply chain efficiency by leveraging Barrett’s advanced technological, automation, and personnel resources. This strategic move will enable Levenger to concentrate more on its core competencies, like crafting high-quality writing tools, and bolstering its online brand presence, aiming for sustained growth in its specialized market.
Margaret Moraskie, CEO of Levenger, praised Barrett for its family-owned background, high-touch service expertise, and commitment to superior customer experiences, which resonated with Levenger’s values and operational philosophy. Levenger’s longstanding tradition of quality and craftsmanship, spanning over three decades, will be upheld, continuing to enrich the writing experiences of professionals globally.
Levenger will also maintain its philanthropic efforts through the Partnering For Good program, supporting literacy and cultural organizations, which has already contributed over $325,000 to various initiatives.
Bryan Corbett, Barrett’s VP of Sales & Marketing, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, acknowledging Levenger’s distinct brand identity and the opportunity to work closely with their team to understand and enhance their unique product line and operational methodologies.
The logistical operations for Levenger will be based in the Memphis area, where Barrett operates sophisticated eCommerce fulfilment centers equipped with robotic and automated systems. This infrastructure is particularly well-suited for handling Levenger’s premium products, like the Circa notebook system, known for its customizable and elegant design, and the True Writer pen, celebrating its 25th year as a staple in Levenger’s product line, continuing the brand’s legacy of creating exceptional writing tools.
