Certification underscores commitment to food safety, quality control, and operational excellence across multi-site logistics network
FORT WORTH, TX / ACCESS Newswire / July 7, 2026 / Woods Distribution, a full-service third-party logistics (3PL) provider, announced that its facilities in Fort Worth, Texas and Chicago, Illinois have achieved BRCGS Storage and Distribution Certification with an AA grade, the highest rating awarded under the global standard.
The BRCGS (Brand Reputation Compliance Global Standards) certification is recognized internationally as a benchmark for food safety, quality, and operational integrity across storage and distribution environments. The AA grade reflects Woods Distribution's adherence to rigorous requirements, including facility conditions, handling procedures, traceability systems, and risk management protocols.
"This certification reflects the standards we hold ourselves to every day across our operations," said Will Scherer, Director of Sales of Woods Distribution. "Achieving an AA grade at multiple facilities demonstrates the consistency of our processes and the discipline of our teams in maintaining high levels of food safety and quality control."
The BRCGS Storage and Distribution standard is designed for companies that store, transport, and distribute food and consumer products. Certification requires comprehensive audits that evaluate everything from sanitation and environmental controls to documentation, staff training, and incident management procedures.
For customers operating in highly regulated industries-such as food and beverage, consumer packaged goods (CPG), and retail-the certification provides an added layer of confidence in how products are handled throughout the supply chain. It also supports compliance with retailer and regulatory expectations, which increasingly require third-party validation of safety and quality standards.
Woods Distribution's certified facilities support a range of logistics services, including ambient and climate-controlled storage, contract packaging (co-pack), and transportation coordination. The company's Fort Worth warehousing services, now backed by AA-rated BRCGS certification, serve as a cornerstone of this integrated service offering. By incorporating these services within certified environments, the company helps ensure that product integrity is maintained from storage through final distribution.
"Food safety and product integrity are non-negotiable in today's supply chains," Scherer added. "Our goal is to provide customers with a logistics environment where they can trust that standards are not only met, but consistently executed across every facility."
The certification of both Fort Worth and Chicago locations highlights Woods Distribution's ability to maintain uniform operational standards across geographically distinct facilities-an important factor for companies managing regional or national distribution networks.
As supply chains become more complex and regulatory expectations continue to evolve, certifications such as BRCGS are playing a larger role in how companies evaluate and select logistics partners. For Woods Distribution, the AA rating reinforces its position as a reliable partner for businesses requiring high levels of compliance, visibility, and operational consistency.
