A trusted family name in Michigan, WF Whelan Logistics has enjoyed a long history of success in the automotive and metals industries. Current Chairman of the Board William F. Whelan leveraged his knowledge and experience to establish WF Whelan Company as a small customs brokerage firm at Detroit’s Metropolitan Airport in 1974. A strong desire to provide more streamlined supply chain services led WF Whelan Logistics to add air freight cartage in 1977, warehousing and distribution in 1979, Foreign-Trade Zone in 1981 and light assembly in 1998. WF Whelan Logistics outgrew its Romulus, Michigan facility and expanded to its current 1.1 million sq. ft., state-of-the-art facility in Canton, Michigan. Another 475,000 sq. ft. FTZ warehouse opened in Riverview, Michigan in 2018.
