Trusted by Industry Leaders
For over 65 years, distributors and manufacturers across the country have relied on Jensen-Souders to handle their most sensitive materials with care and precision.
When working with Jensen-Souders employees it's a team mentality – we are in business together with the goal of being successful. Their facility is clean, organized, and well cared for. Jensen-Souders is professional and takes great care meeting our company needs without resistance, complaint, or exorbitant fees. They also offer Regulatory Knowledge — something other warehouses do not offer.
We began using Jensen Souders because of their strong commitment to the Responsible Distribution process. We continue to use Jensen Souders for one simple reason — Ease of Doing Business. Jensen Souders always do what they say they will do. With Jensen Souders, warehousing is one element of our business that we never have to worry about.
A recommendation from one of Jensen-Souders' existing customers brought us to them, but the friendly atmosphere and personable service keep us. They are very accommodating and willing to do same day service — most warehouses require 24–48 hours notice. Service is excellent; on a scale from 1 to 10, I would give it a 10.
Jensen handles hazardous materials where a lot of other warehouses shy away from the storage and handling due to the nature of the material. The personnel interaction with Jensen's employees provides us with the confidence in them handling our business and servicing our customers.
