Quantix renames chemical logistics business
Quantix recently changed the name of Pennsylvania-based CLX Logistics and its subsidiaries, which the chemical supply chain services company acquires last year, to Quantix Managed Solutions.
In addition to providing TMS, benchmarking, managed transportation, and supply chain consulting, Quantix Managed Solutions also includes Capacity solutions, providing outsourced transportation options specific to the chemical industry, the company reported.
“The CLX Logistics acquisition has proven to be of great benefit to our customers,” John Labrie, Quantix president and CEO, said in a news release. “By leveraging the incredible, chemical-specific data that the team collects, our customers are saving money on everything from fuel costs to transportation costs and maintenance. Beyond that, we’re improving their customers’ experience through white-glove delivery.”

Quantix Managed Solutions boasts $24 billion in lifetime freight spend within its Gravity database, all ingested from chemical-specific companies, Quantix added. One-third of that data is from liquid bulk alone.
“Many providers in this space lump the chemical industry into the ‘specialty’ bucket but the reality is the challenges they face simply cannot be compared to a car hauler, for example,” said Zack Novak, Quantix Managed Solutions senior vice president and general manager. “Quantix Managed Solutions offers everything from support for long haul and hazmat to moving bulk shipments with 24-hour notice.”
The newly named Managed Solutions business was managing $500 million worth of freight annually when Quantix acquired it in April 2024. Collectively, the companies reported then, they formed a platform with more than $2 billion in logistics spend, with approximately 5,400 owned assets, over 40 distribution centers and rail terminals, and 3,300 partner-carrier relationships.
“Quantix Managed Solutions understands our business completely,” said Brad Crocker, president and CEO of Trecora, a Quantix Managed Solutions customer. “They’re an extension of our team in a sense and the trust we place in them reflects the quality they provide.”
