Operational Supervisor

NIS was founded in 1995 in Davenport, Iowa, with one goal: Thoroughly understand customer needs and design custom business solutions to meet those needs. By utilizing this philosophy, NIS has since grown into a leading provider of value-added third-party logistics (3PL). Focusing on three core competencies of assembly, inventory management, and warehouse and distribution, NIS incorporates lean practices, continuous improvement, as well as world-class quality systems into value-added solutions for its customers. With over 26 years of experience in the industry, the focus for NIS remains the same: See a need, provide a comprehensive solution, and save clients time and money. That was, and still is, the premise for NIS.
