The Integration Group has expanded its national logistics platform with the acquisition of North American Warehousing Company, a Chicago-area provider of regulated and specialty warehousing services with extensive expertise in handling chemicals and hazardous materials. The deal expands The Integration Group’s Midwest footprint, enhances its value-added capabilities, and marks its third acquisition of the year.
The Integration Group, headquartered in Marshalltown, Iowa, is backed by Maxwell Street Capital Partners. With this latest transaction, the company gains access to North American Warehousing Company’s specialized operational infrastructure, longstanding regulatory compliance programs, and decades of technical experience in an area of supply chain management that demands strict precision. The acquisition strengthens The Integration Group’s ability to serve a growing mix of customers across chemical and specialty goods markets while expanding its presence in the Chicago region, one of the most important logistics hubs in the United States.
North American Warehousing Company brings facility depth and specialized capabilities in chemical blending, hazardous materials management, and container filling. These additions align with The Integration Group’s strategy of assembling a differentiated contract logistics platform that provides tailored solutions for customers with complex product requirements. The company noted that the acquisition complements earlier deals for PDM and Matrix Management, which expanded expertise in areas including food-grade packaging and specialty supply chain services.
The Integration Group continues to build a portfolio designed to offer an integrated, high-value supply chain network across multiple end markets, including automotive, agriculture, food, animal feed, chemicals, and industrial equipment. The company’s suite of services spans supplier sourcing and management, procurement, assembly and kitting, blending, packaging, inventory management, fulfillment, returns processing, and sales and marketing support.
Maxwell Street Capital Partners, based in Chicago, focuses on lower-middle-market transportation, logistics, and route-based services businesses. The firm’s investment strategy centers on partnering with founders, families, and management teams to scale operational platforms and support long-term growth.
