Our clients are special too.
We celebrate the clients who inspire us with their own new thinking.
Hofseth International
A Better Way of Fresh.
Hofseth is becoming the world’s most sustainable seafood producer. Doing that means reinventing today’s approach to fresh fish: flying it around the world at great cost and carbon footprint to arrive when it’s already past its best.
After years of work, Hofseth has succeeded—inventing IceFresh. It defrosts frozen fish in a transformative new way that offers taste and quality indistinguishable from fresh at the source. That means Hofseth can deliver fish that tastes fresher than today’s fresh and do it without the costs and carbon footprint of flying fish around the world.

Our Challenge
Hofseth asked us to set up a network of IceFresh defrost hubs to bring their fresher-than-fresh fish to all of North America in twenty-four months.
Our Solution
We opened the first IceFresh hub in Chicago in January 2025 and shipped half a million pounds of salmon through it in four months. The Los Angeles hub will open in June 2025 with a third hub opening later in 2025. Together, they will provide a pan-U.S. defrost service network.
“Flying fish around the world is madness so we created a frozen value chain and defrost on demand. We could not find a US partner with the savvy to handle the defrost part of the value chain. We struck gold meeting Unified Motion, whose team stood up the world's first IceFresh defrost hub in under 90 days. Without their speed and resourcefulness, we would not have an IceFresh business in North America today.”
—Roger Hofseth, CEO, Hofseth International
Zeal Creamery
Logistics with small business zeal.
Zeal Creamery is on a mission to provide the world’s freshest and healthiest milk that tastes good, does good, and is good. To deliver, they operate out of a single regenerative farm in Missouri, where cows are never in a barn and are always pasture-raised, grass-fed, and treated with respect. The result: their milk tastes better and is more nutritious than other milk, and it’s delivered in ways their customers can feel good about. Zeal’s business is growing quickly: from distribution through one Chicago grocery store to distribution through Whole Foods and leading shops and restaurants nationally.

“We finish milking at 7:30 in the morning, the milk is in bottles by 2:30 pm, and into Chicago by 6 the next morning. You can feel the difference working with Unified. They truly care about us and our products and they have the smarts to deliver.”
—Jason Henshaw, CEO, Zeal
Our Challenge
Zeal had a simple and big request: build and manage the logistics system that would match their standards and keep up with their growth.
Our Solution
We created a farm-to-store logistics network that moves their products from their Missouri farm to people’s tables in one day. We integrated our cold-chain management system into Zeal’s track and trace system giving Zeal certainty in its product quality from cow to store.
Florius

The Challenge
Florius asked us to get their flowers from farms around the world to distribution centers in North America with flawless care—and in five days or less.
Our Solution
We tailored an end-to-end solution from cutting and boxing in Ethiopia, to sorting and palletizing in Chicago, to delivery to individuals across the United States. We do it with constant track and trace and cold-chain management. And we do it, from field to retail store, in four days.
“The logistics are as beautiful as the flowers.”
— Willum Van Den Hoggen, Managing Director, Florius International
