From a Proud Heritage, Burris Turns 100

100 Years of Supply Chain Excellence

In 2025, we celebrate our 100th anniversary. From humble beginnings transporting produce between Delaware and Philadelphia, we’ve grown into Freight Brokerage and Redistribution leaders through Trinity Logistics and Honor Foods.

We’ve pioneered cold storage, e-commerce fulfillment, and custom distribution; in the past, we even expanded into truck tire sales and steamship operations. Our success is driven by dedicated Team Members who believe our work positively impacts the American people.

We prioritize the well-being of our Team, fostering a supportive, fulfilling workplace. Over the past century, we’ve faced challenges and growth, but our focus has always been to be the best, not the biggest!

In the coming year, we’ll share more of our history, culture, and people. By the end of 2025, we hope you’ll have a deeper understanding of who we are and where we’re headed.

Thank you for being a part of our history.

Donnie Burris,
CEO and President.

Cheers to 100 Years of Improving Lives and Supply Chains by Solving Tough Problems.
In January of 2025 our CEO and President kicked-off a year-long celebration of 100 years as a supply chain company. He highlighted humble beginnings, family guidance, company change, and growth to where we are, this year. In a company town-hall, our entire organization roared out a supportive cheers! 
Over the coming year, we’ll share more of our history, culture, and people. By the end of 2025, we hope to share a deeper understanding of who we are and where we’re headed.
Thank you for being a part of our history, and Cheers to 100 Years.

With Integrity and Perseverance, we always find a way to Make It Happen
Welcome to our second month of celebrating 100 years of Burris Logistics. Historically speaking, February is a significant month for our organization. In February, we celebrate milestones, family, and Team Members who led us to our modern Value – Make It Happen.

Make It Happen comes from a time in Burris Logistics’ history when resources were scarce, technology was new, and small groups of dedicated Team Members worked endless hours to get the job done. To this day, tenured people like Burris CIO Ed Krupka continue to build upon the knowledge of 40+ year-long careers to take Burris, Trinity, Honor, Sunny Morning, R.W. Zant, and Eagle Business Credit into a new century of success.

Make It Happen was born out of; “working with what you got,” “working your way to a positive outcome,” “persevering in the face of adversity,” and “doing the right thing no matter what.”

In March, we celebrate one of our three values: Personal.Service.Excellence. We create an experience for our Team Members and Customers defined by our passion and extreme ownership.

We started an enterprise-wide initiative in December of 2024 called the ONEBURRIS Kudos Board. This digital board allows us to capture Kudos from Team Member to Team Member when someone goes above and beyond to live our values. This month, we aim to feature Personal.Service.Excellence moments, asking Team Members to nominate those striving to be the best at their work. Personal.Service.Excellence. is what sets our organization apart from our competition. We have an engrained value in supporting customers and each other with the best possible service. 

Our CEO and President Donnie Burris has a very simple way of describing Personal.Service.Excellence. 

Donnie quotes Peter Drucker saying “The purpose of business is to create and keep a customer.” 

We strive for Personal.Service.Excellence. by creating an experience for our Team Members and Customers defined by our passion and extreme ownership.
