The community is often referred to as “the City that Jack Built,” a reference to the zinc, or “Jack,” industry that originally formed the bedrock of its economy. But modern Joplin is far more diversified than that, hosting vibrant industries like automotive supply manufacturing, hospitality, and retail. ExpeditedFreight.com is committed to keeping these industries booming, offering the logistics services they need to continue creating jobs and wealth for the people of Joplin.
Despite being a relatively small community, Joplin has been highly successful, in large part thanks to the advanced industries that make their home here. One example is automotive supply manufacturing. Able Manufacturing & Assembly uses Joplin as its headquarters, allowing it to coordinate the production of fiberglass, thermoplastics, and other advanced materials. These operations create a host of lucrative jobs for the community, providing an enduring source of wealth. As valuable as automotive supply and other advanced industries are, they often strain local logistics systems.
Carriers have trouble bringing these producers the inputs they need, as many of them have to be shipped in from distant parts of the country and cannot be even mildly damaged on the way. Only an expedited shipping company that is well versed in balancing speed against safety can supply such clients effectively.
