THE RESEARCH WING

Built for the densest research corridor in America

Duke on one side, Research Triangle Park on the other, and one of the fastest-growing metros in the country in between. The brands selling here need compliance, not just cardboard.

RTP BIOTECH & LAB SUPPLY

Compliant fulfillment for the Park

Research Triangle Park is the largest research park in the country — IBM, GSK, BASF, Cisco, Bayer, and hundreds of biotech firms. We fulfill compliant biotech, lab-supply, and FDA-regulated brands selling into that ecosystem, with lot tracking, documentation, and B2B routing guides handled.

DUKE & DUKE HEALTH

The academic-medical anchor

Duke Health is one of the largest academic medical systems in the Southeast, and Duke's student market runs on its own calendar. We fulfill medical-device, supplement, and wellness brands serving the hospital ecosystem — and student D2C with dorm-ready packaging timed to move-in and graduation.

FBA ROUTING

Four FCs ring the Triangle

RDU1, RDU2, and RDU5 serve the Triangle with GSO1 backing up from Greensboro. We prep, FNSKU-label, poly-bag, and split-ship FBA inventory to whichever FC Amazon assigns.

TRIAL CALENDAR

The Triangle's demand cycle follows the academic year. We scale pick lines ahead of every wave so peak weeks ship like control weeks.

THE FINDINGS

What the Durham data shows

FINDING 01

American Tobacco Campus D2C

Durham rebuilt its downtown around a redeveloped tobacco complex that now houses startups, Google Fiber, and a dense young-professional market. Tech-lifestyle and premium D2C brands overperform with this demographic — educated, affluent, and buying online by default.

FINDING 02

Bull City food & beverage CPG

One of the most distinctive food and brewery scenes in the South ships sauces, coffee, and shelf-stable CPG far beyond the Triangle. We handle lot-coded, fragile, and glass-heavy SKUs with FIFO rotation and packaging that survives Zone 7.

FINDING 03

One lane, whole Triangle

Durham, Raleigh, and Chapel Hill share the same 5-day ground lane and the same 2.1 million-resident market. One California setup covers the fastest-growing research metro in the country end to end.
