Alex Brands began outbound shipping at MonarchFx’s Dallas, TX location last month and will begin processing additional shipments in early 2020.

“We will use our highly integrated network of people, technology and physical assets to help Alex Brands manage their goods more efficiently throughout their supply chain, helping to ensure customer satisfaction. I was honored to be on site in Dallas with the Alex Brands and MonarchFx teams to take part in the first outbound shipment,” said Jim Tompkins, CEO Tompkins International and MonarchFx.
