The Ocala Group

The Ocala Group was founded in 2009 with a clear mission: to bring smarter, more strategic global sourcing solutions to the U.S. market. Rooted in deep industry expertise and an entrepreneurial spirit, the company emerged from a blend of domestic market insight and hands-on experience in Southeast Asia’s sourcing landscape. From the beginning, The Ocala Group set out to bridge the gap between global supply and U.S. demand with precision, dedication, and integrity. 

Today, The Ocala Group stands as a trusted partner in global sourcing, manufacturing, and transportation solutions for the foodservice industry. With a proprietary logistics platform powering its core, the company provides end-to-end visibility across the entire supply chain. Headquartered in Long Island, New York, and supported by a collaborative international team across India, the Philippines, and China, The Ocala Group combines global reach with the precision and focus of a boutique firm. Long-standing partnerships with leading distributors – some spanning over a decade – underscore a strong track record of reliability, innovation, and lasting client trust.   

What truly sets The Ocala Group apart is its people. The core team has remained relatively intact, fostering a culture of trust, respect, and shared success. This stability has fueled fivefold business growth and empowered the team to stay agile and inventive. By strategically balancing global resources and U.S. operations, the company maintains low overhead without compromising quality – a testament to their smart, scalable approach. In every container shipped and every relationship built, The Ocala Group exemplifies a modern company with enduring values.

Team Three Group (T3) and GIS

Team Three Group (T3)/GIS was founded in 2009 with the purpose of providing better, more comprehensive service offerings than what had been available in the market. The founders identified a niche — utilizing strong factory relationships with customers who needed the ability to effectively import, and who had the scale and volume to support an independent, customized import solution.


The company grew very rapidly from there, and by 2024, T3/GIS was shipping nearly 5,000 ocean containers in a year. The company employed over 50 team members across two offices in Chesterfield (MO) and Hong Kong, two warehouses in St. Louis (MO) and Vacaville (CA), and even a small manufacturing facility. When acquired by ACR in 2023, it was ACR’s largest acquisition to date and helped solidify their position as a market leader.


The focus of Team Three Group and GIS is on developing tailored product-and-service platforms for specific customers, and their true specialization lies in a customer-centric approach. T3 is highly program-focused, building strong relationships with large-scale customers while providing access to international suppliers and sourcing resources. Traditionally, sales were driven by direct container deliveries, but over time, the business has evolved to include a substantial portion of orders flowing through our warehouses.


They are most proud of the opportunities that T3 and GIS created for their team members to grow and thrive, both professionally and personally. Time and again, they saw individuals within the company develop smart, creative solutions to complex challenges, often even surprising themselves with what they were capable of achieving.


Beyond internal growth, T3/GIS is especially proud of the strong relationships they’ve built and the trust they’ve earned from their customers. Recognized as the best for delivering “Creative Solutions,” they consistently provided meaningful answers to supplier challenges, even when the best solution didn’t directly benefit T3/GIS. For the company, success has always been about doing what’s right, fostering innovation, and helping our customers overcome obstacles with confidence.


The company’s Chesterfield office is nestled next to two runways at a small private airport. Although most of the air traffic here is small planes, they also regularly see fighter jets and other military aircraft come through, including an occasional visit by the Blue Angels. It was common for the team to get some fresh air by watching the planes take off and land outside the office!

With several team members celebrating over a decade of service, their dedication and expertise have been instrumental in the brand’s success. 


Over the years, consistent performance and a strong team culture made TTM a sought-after acquisition target for larger organizations, culminating in its acquisition by ACR and the start of an exciting new chapter.
