About Us
Tighe Logistics: A Wide Range of Snack Food Services and Solutions
Tighe provides snack food manufacturers and distributors with a fully integrated warehousing and transportation solution designed to support high-volume, retail-driven supply chains. From regional grocery chains and convenience store networks to big box retailers, club stores, food service distributors, and growing e-commerce snack brands, we help ensure your products move efficiently and arrive retail-ready.
Snack distribution requires more than storage space. It demands precise inventory rotation, high-volume pallet movement, strict adherence to retail compliance standards, and the flexibility to manage promotional cycles and seasonal inventory swings. Our team acts as an extension of your operation — coordinating inbound freight, staging inventory strategically, and delivering on-time to meet retailer appointment windows and cutoffs.
Whether you’re shipping full pallets to distribution centers, preparing mixed-SKU retail displays, or fulfilling direct-to-consumer snack orders, Tighe provides scalable logistics support that adapts to your growth and peak demand cycles.
Precise, Transparent Inventory Management
Snack brands depend on precise inventory control to protect freshness, maintain shelf life, and meet retail expectations. Our experienced team manages high-velocity snack SKUs with strict FIFO rotation, lot traceability, and expiration date monitoring.
From palletized inventory to case-pick fulfillment and promotional builds, we ensure accurate receiving, cross-docking, sorting, and outbound distribution. Our systems provide real-time visibility into inventory levels, order status, and replenishment timing, helping you meet fill rates and reduce stockouts during peak demand.
We also monitor environmental conditions including humidity and temperature exposure to protect packaging integrity and prevent product degradation throughout storage and transit.
JIT and Seasonal Demand Expertise
Snack demand fluctuates dramatically throughout the year. Holiday promotions, back-to-school cycles, limited-time flavors, and retail resets can increase order volume by 50 to 200 percent in a short window.
Tighe specializes in just-in-time logistics that helps snack brands maintain inventory flow without overextending fixed warehouse capacity. We scale labor, storage space, and transportation resources to support seasonal spikes while protecting margins during slower cycles.
Our team coordinates inbound ingredients, finished goods staging, and outbound retail shipments to ensure the right products arrive at the right location in the right quantity at the right time.
Value-added services such as picking, packing, kitting, display assembly, and retail labeling help ensure promotional inventory is shelf-ready when it matters most.

Supporting Growth for a Local Family Farm Food Supplier
Focus: Customer Service at Delivery
This food supplier sources high-quality produce from local family farms all across the US. They had been using two different 3PLs to service their New England market, but weren’t getting the service they needed. They decided to consolidate their New England logistics needs with Tighe because of our reputation for taking care of ‘our customer’s customer’ especially at the point of delivery.
