History & Background

Each of our companies are part of the Faure' Brothers Corporation group of warehousing and distribution companies. The Faure' Brothers Corporation is a family-owned and operated business that has been providing quality distribution and warehouse management services since 1906. Throughout our 96-year history we have expanded to accommodate our customers and meet business demands. Today we have three specialized companies to serve our customers needs.

Great Lakes Warehouse Corporation

The State Street facility specializes in chemical warehousing and distribution.

In all, Faure' Brothers' warehouses currently cover approximately 1,000,000 square feet. We also work with customers who want to develop build-to-suit facilities and customized operations.

Our Warehouse Management System assures efficient document preparation, accurate product and inventory data, radio frequency communication, EDI capability, a full complement of reporting capabilities, future systems flexibility, and customer access to their own inventory information through a secure Internet connection. This module allows customers to access inventory data, place orders, receive confirmations, and obtain a variety of reports. The WMS is upgraded regularly to meet customer and internal needs. Many clients also have their own terminals and printers on site and directly connected to their systems.

We are more than just a group of Warehouses! Since our inception in 1906, our firms have been dedicated to providing our customers with the highest quality outsourced logistics services and information available-a dedication that remains our number one objective today. Our success is the result of our commitment to clients and their customers.
