Kontane Logistics was founded in 1995 as a dedicated third-party logistics provider by Ed and Polly Byrd, who had started the original wooden crate manufacturing business, Kontane, Inc., in 1975 in Hickory, NC. The company has since grown into a multi-state operation serving customers in North Carolina, SC, Alabama, and Texas. Ed Byrd continues to oversee operations alongside COO Rusty Byrd, who joined the team in 2005 and now manages a staff of over 500 employees across all logistics facilities. The packaging division maintains computerized panel saws and CNC routers to meet tight tolerances for custom wood crates, skids, and shipping containers, all ISPM-15 certified with KD/HT stamps for export. Kontane also manufactures MTMC and export-certified lift vans, sofa boxes, motorcycle crates, and storage vaults, and offers its patent-pending HomePak portable self-storage container system.

The Summerville location sits on Drop Off Drive and Deming Way, both close to the I-26 and I-526 interchange that feeds the Port of Charleston complex.

With decades of proven packaging experience and a steady record of repeat and referred customers, Kontane Logistics serves as one of the established packaging and crating operations serving the Summerville and Charleston manufacturing corridor.
