About Koch Logistics
Koch Logistics is a Midwest 3PL and freight broker founded in 1992 and headquartered in Golden Valley, Minnesota (Minneapolis metro), ranked #87 on the Transport Topics 2026 Top 100 with an estimated $171 million in gross revenue. Koch Logistics is part of the Koch Companies family of privately-held businesses founded by Stan Koch in 1976; Koch Trucking acquired G.W. Transportation (a long-tenured TIA-member freight brokerage) to expand the brokerage offering.
Per Transport Topics 2026, Koch Logistics moves air/expedited, LTL, and dry van truckload — a focused mode mix supplemented by international shipping reach in 230+ import/export markets via partner networks. Beyond core domestic brokerage, Koch offers asset-based warehousing and supply chain management through affiliated Koch Companies operations.
For shippers evaluating Koch Logistics, the strongest fit is Midwest manufacturing, retail, and consumer-goods programs that benefit from access to the Koch Companies' integrated 3PL footprint — particularly shippers needing both domestic brokerage and international freight forwarding under one umbrella. Pure US-domestic FTL spot shippers should benchmark against more transactional brokers.
