United Warehouse has been providing services in the movement of goods since 1915. I've used Banking as an analogy many times for what we do. Instead of our customers giving us their money, they entrust us with their inventories. Many things have changed in the last 100 plus years and will continue as the world is ever changing. Currently in Wichita, we operate 420,000 square feet of shared logistics services and contract services. We have 45 team members and we're excited for the future growth in this market. Our mission is: YOU! Your Mission. Our Passion. UNITED!
