Electric Trucks, Green Warehousing, and the Push for Sustainable Supply Chains

Why Sustainability Is Driving Supply Chains in 2025

Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword anymore. From OEM automotive requirements to consumer expectations, businesses are being asked: How green is your supply chain?

For manufacturers and suppliers in Michigan, sustainability means rethinking logistics, warehousing, and manufacturing processes - without sacrificing cost or performance. That’s where Wolverine Assemblies comes in.
