About Us - Conwareco Logistics
Three Generations  •  Since 1955

A Family Legacy
of Trusted Logistics.

For over 70 years, Conwareco has been more than a logistics company. We’re a family business built on trust, service, and the kind of personal accountability you simply can’t get from a national 3PL.

Our Story

Built by Family.
Trusted by Business.

“Our clients stay with us for 15+ years on average — that’s not a contract, that’s a relationship.”

Conwareco was founded by David’s mother as a local storage provider in 1955. What started as a modest warehousing operation grew, decade by decade, into one of the Catawba Valley’s most trusted 3PL providers.

Today, David has led the business for over 30 years — and his wife and son are now part of the operation, making Conwareco a genuine three-generation family business. The owners aren’t in a boardroom. They’re on the floor.

We don’t just store and move goods — we build long-term partnerships by providing customized, scalable logistics solutions that businesses can rely on year after year.

Family Ownership

Three Generations.
One Standard.

Same values. Same commitment. Same phone number. The faces change — the accountability doesn’t.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked
Questions.

Is Conwareco still family-owned?+

Yes — completely. Conwareco has been privately owned since 1955 and remains 100% family-owned today. David Parham, whose mother founded the company, has led the business for over 30 years. His wife and son are also part of the operation. The owners are in the business every single day — no shareholders, no corporate mandate.

How long do clients stay with Conwareco?+

Our average client relationship is over 15 years. Clients know they can pick up the phone and speak to someone who knows their account, their inventory, and their business. Long-term relationships aren’t a goal — they’re the natural outcome of doing things right, consistently.

What types of businesses do you work with?+

Two distinct client types. Industrial: manufacturers, distributors, and suppliers needing bulk storage for raw materials, oversized equipment, and packaged goods. Fulfilment: e-commerce brands, DTC businesses, and premium consumer product companies needing fast, accurate order fulfilment. Both tracks get the same family-owned accountability.

Where are your facilities located?+

Four facilities across the Catawba Valley, NC — totalling 320,000+ sq ft. Hickory Main Warehouse (120,000+ sq ft) and Hickory Fulfilment Centre (50,000 sq ft) in Hickory. Claremont Industrial (100,000+ sq ft) and Farrington Storage (50,000+ sq ft). All are within easy reach of I-40 and Highway 321.

Are your facilities climate-controlled?+

Our Hickory Fulfilment Centre and White Glove service area are fully air-conditioned. Hickory Main, Claremont, and Farrington are non-climate-controlled industrial warehouses. None of our facilities are food-grade certified. We do store packaged consumer goods and dry products in appropriate facilities.
