CASE STUDY Izzio Artisan Bakery Saves 20% on Truckload Shipping with Redwood
MARKET: FROZEN FOOD
Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, izzio artisan bakery is a family owned business that has been baking traditional organic sourdough breads since 1994. The company bakes bread in small batches, then freezes it and delivers it to national retailers including Safeway/Albertsons, Kroger, and Sprouts Farmers Market. izzio is growing rapidly as consumers increasingly look for organic, traceable products with locally sourced ingredients.
THE CHALLENGES
- Limited temperature-controlled truckload capacity in Denver
- Volatile pricing due to inconsistent availability
- Overspending on truckload transportation, their highest-volume lane, without a reliable solution
THE SOLUTION
.
By relying on Redwood for freight brokerage services, izzio can capitalize on Redwood’s relationships with national and regional carriers of all sizes.

The carrier of choice offers static rates, increasing the predictability of izzio’s transportation spend.
THE RESULTS
Saved 20% with dedicated fleets
Excellent customer service
Positioned for profitable growth
