Fortna celebrates 70 years

Company began in 1946 as a hand truck and parts business in a one-room office.


Fortna is celebrating its 70th anniversary since its founding in 1946.

The professional services and engineering firm helps market-leading brands around the globe transform their distribution operations into a competitive advantage and serve as the backbone for business growth.

Throughout its 70 year history, Fortna has undergone its own transformation. From humble beginnings as a hand truck and parts company out of a small one-room office, Fortna has grown into a global solution provider as companies have invested in their distribution operations to meet growing consumer demands for greater value and convenience.

Fortna’s model manages all phases of a project – from strategy and design to implementation and support – by taking total project and financial accountability for budget, timeline, go live, adoption and support.

“Companies today are challenged to keep their distribution operations on pace with business and market demands,” says CEO and president, John A. White III. “At Fortna, we partner with the world’s top brands, and guarantee that we’ll deliver results to the business. It is the foundation on which Fortna has built 70 years of growth and establishes our path for the future.”
