Welcome to Inside the Chain, ACWI’s monthly series highlighting the members that power our warehousing, logistics, and supply chain network. This month, we’re proud to feature Prism Logistics, a company built on a strong culture of service, innovation, and partnership.
A Family Driven Approach to Logistics
Founded in 1993, Prism Logistics is a family-owned third-party logistics (3PL) provider headquartered in Northern California. Over more than three decades, the company has built its reputation around trust, responsiveness, and a commitment to helping customers succeed.
Led by Jere Van Puffelen, the company has grown from a regional logistics operation into one of Northern California’s most respected 3PL providers. Today, leadership continues with the next generation under President Jeremy Van Puffelen, maintaining the same customer-focused philosophy that helped establish Prism’s reputation in the industry.
That legacy of leadership is also extending into the third generation of the Van Puffelen family, with Jeremiah Van Puffelen contributing to the company’s ongoing growth and innovation. His involvement reflects Prism’s long-term commitment to building a company rooted in family values, industry expertise, and continuity of leadership.
At its core, Prism Logistics operates with a strong “people-first” philosophy. The company is known for its culture of saying “yes first, then figuring it out,” approaching customer challenges with creativity, urgency, and a solutions-driven mindset. This service-oriented approach has helped Prism become a trusted partner for companies across multiple industries, particularly in food, beverage, and consumer packaged goods.
