Wagner Logistics: From Family Business to National Growth
Brian Smith, President & CEO
Wagner Logistics
Join Brian Smith, CEO of Wagner Logistics, for a conversation about the company’s transformation from a Kansas City-based family business into a national third-party logistics platform. Brian will share Wagner’s growth journey, including its partnership with private equity, strategic expansion, and the opportunities that have positioned the company for continued growth.
The discussion will also look at Wagner’s partnership with Panasonic Energy and its role supporting the company’s EV battery manufacturing facility in De Soto, Kansas. Brian will share insights into what the Panasonic investment means for Wagner, the Kansas City region, and the broader advanced manufacturing and supply chain ecosystem, as well as his perspective on the future growth and opportunities surrounding Panasonic’s Kansas operations.
