OUR STORY

1946 – Built on Hard Work and Relationships

Balas was founded in 1946 with a focus on supplying essential products to local businesses. In the early years, success was simple: show up, deliver on your word, and build trust with every customer.

That mindset became the foundation of the company — and it continues to guide how we operate today.

GROWTH

Growing a Distribution Backbone

Over the following decades, Balas expanded its distribution capabilities — increasing product lines, growing warehouse operations, and serving a wider geographic footprint.

SHIFT

The Natural Shift Into Logistics

As our distribution network grew, one thing became clear: controlling the movement of product was just as important as supplying it.

To meet that need, Balas began building its own transportation capabilities — initially to support internal distribution, and eventually to serve customers more broadly.

This marked the beginning of our transition from a traditional distributor to a true logistics operator.
