California-based warehouse is newest member of fast-growing network of family-owned, temperature-controlled cold storage providers

RLS Logistics, a cold chain 3PL, recently welcomed Partners Alliance Cold Storage in Ontario, Calif., as a warehouse partner and member of the RLS network of cold chain solutions providers through its affiliate RLS Partners.

The company now will be known as RLS Alliance.

Frozen and refrigerated food manufacturers in the Southern California region will gain access to the RLS network with the addition of RLS Alliance’s strategic location in Ontario, and Riverside, Calif., near the Port of Long Beach and Port of Los Angeles. RLS Alliance provides temperature-controlled warehousing, including bulk storage, value-added services, intermodal dock solutions, and transportation services. With the addition of RLS Alliance, the RLS network adds 275,000 square feet of temperature-controlled warehousing capacity.

“Customers can expect a personal experience when they partner with RLS Alliance. They get to know the customer service team on a first-name basis,” said RJ Neu, president and regional partner at RLS Alliance. “Additionally, our way of operating is more flexible compared to the big box companies; we can make decisions quickly to assist customers’ needs.

“Offering our customers a fully integrated distribution solution is something we are excited about. RLS also brings transportation expertise and other needed value-added services that we look forward to extending to our customers.”

Neu has more than 20 years of experience working in the cold chain industry in quality-control and manufacturing positions. “I’m excited that we found a partner aligned with our thought process and that wants to grow our team,” he added.

RLS Alliance joins the fast-growing network of top-tier family-owned, temperature-controlled warehouse providers. As a family-run business, RLS Alliance has similar values in operating: personalized customer experience, strong customer foundations, loyalty, and entrepreneurialism. RLS’ network is an alternative for expansion-minded food manufacturers who prefer the personalized approach family-run providers offer, which sometimes gets diluted with the larger cold storage competitors. 

“Customer centricity is a business strategy that RLS has led in our operations for as long as I can remember,” said Russell Leo, CEO of RLS Logistics. “RLS Alliance follows a similar strategy; their customer partnerships are a testament to it. This makes them a natural fit for our network of top cold storage providers. We look forward to a fruitful partnership, and we welcome the west coast team to our family.”
