Who We Are.
DC&A Logistics was founded by Syed Hussain and Demir Chowdhury, two childhood friends. Mr. Chowdhury has a history of entrepreneurial activity having successfully founded a sizable sales and marketing organization. Mr. Hussain has 15 years’ experience in the delivery logistics business with two of America’s larger meal plan companies.
DC&A Logistics is a final mile delivery company headquartered in New York and currently operating in 17 states; AZ, CA, CT, FL, IL, IN, MA, MD, MI, MN, MO, NJ, NY, PA, TX, VA & WI. Specializing in direct to consumer deliveries for retail / ecommerce business models.
Although the company’s primary focus has been meal plan deliveries, we have ventured into the pharmaceutical and automotive parts sector as well. We continue to broaden our base via non-food product deliveries.
On a distance basis, DC&A Logistics operates in the middle-distance range. The company does not compete in the restaurant delivery or local grocery store to home market. Average trips in this market are short, usually less than 5 miles. Nor does the company compete head-on with the likes of FedEx and UPS. These delivery giants have extensive delivery networks optimized for longer haul deliveries to a wide range of recipients.
The DC&A Logistics market position begins where the local delivery market ends and extends into the lower ranges of the FedEx/UPS market begins. In mileage terms, DC&A Logistics operates in the 5 to 150 mile market.
Measured in terms of time to deliver, DC&A Logistics is positioned in the middle range. Restaurant delivery requires rapid delivery. FedEx and UPS deliver next day or more, depending upon distance. DC&A Logistics offers delivery within hours, making deliveries around the clock.
The company has worked for a multitude of meal plan companies (human and pet) as well as automative and pharmaceutical companies. DC&A Logistics is headquartered in New York. The company has operations across the United States and continues to expand aggressively.
