S+S Industries and FedEx Freight Announce a Strategic Logistics Partnership

Written By Andrew Luzhetsky

HOUSTON, TX - August 12, 2026 - S+S Industries ("S+S") today announced a strategic logistics partnership with FedEx Freight, the largest less-than-truckload carrier in North America. The agreement takes effect this month and covers outbound shipments of S+S manufactured parts. Shipping arrangements for the company's other product lines are unchanged.

The agreement was not a routine carrier decision. S+S evaluated logistics partners on network reach, shipment technology, and the operational discipline to keep pace with its production floor, and structured the agreement around what matters most to the customers receiving its parts.

What the Partnership Delivers

  • Next-day delivery on most shipments. Direct access to FedEx Freight's national priority network moves the majority of manufactured-parts orders on next-day lanes, putting parts on customer docks a day sooner.

  • RFID shipment tracking. Every shipment is tagged and scanned at each handling point, so customers see live status and ETA without picking up the phone.

  • Faster turn times. Scheduled daily pickups move parts the day they come off the line, cutting dwell time and total lead time on every order.

  • Dedicated logistics support. A FedEx Freight account team is assigned to S+S Industries, giving customers a single contact for scheduling, expedites, and delivery questions.

  • Capacity that grows with demand. Committed trailer capacity on the company's primary lanes, including peak periods, so delivery performance holds as volumes rise.

"Our standard is simple: when parts leave our floor, they arrive on time, and you can see them the whole way there," said Greg Andrews, President of S+S Industries. "We consider delivery part of the product itself. This alliance is a direct investment in that belief, and in the customers who build their schedules around our deliveries."
