AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT QX LOGISTICS

Am I Next? QX Logistics shuttering four Southern California facilities.

Vernon, California-based QX Logistics, a third-party logistics provider of inventory management, storage, pick, packaging and transportation services to clients, has announced the closure of four Southern California facilities.

The closures will impact 207 employees commencing November 16, 2021, in Hawthorne, Rosemead, Culver City, and Los Angeles, California.

While no reason was given for the closure, most closures of this type are associated with the loss of a client, the loss of a contract, or a general downturn in business affecting customers. QX Logistics is known to be an Amazon Delivery Partner and Amazon is restructuring and consolidating its delivery operations.
