We'll take it from here
With over 83 combined years working in the engineering and logistics sphere, our leadership team has seen both the successes and frustrations that come with the logistics process-- and we want to offer a better solution. SQL was born in 2020 as an offshoot of Motz Engineering, with a vision to offer an end-to-end service that is built around client operational priorities with a long-term partnership mindset, rather than short-term gain. Our approach is organized around client needs, determining what equipment, transportation, storage and deliveries are best suited to the project at hand.
By organizing and closely overseeing all steps of the materials procurement process, including installation and performance review, SQL helps minimize the industry uncertainties and risk that slow your business and profits down. SQL comes alongside your teams, enhancing your established business processes, allowing clients to concentrate on their core business, while we handle the rest.

SQL is recognized as a Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) by WBENC, by the gold standard for women-owned business certification. WBENC certification provides added value by supporting supplier diversity goals, expanding procurement opportunities, and offering confidence that they're partnering with a trusted, credentialed business. While our expertise, quality of work, and client service are what define us, our WBENC certification reinforces our commitment to delivering exceptional results while helping organizations build resilient and inclusive supply chains.
Our role doesn't end at site drop-off. At SQL, we stand with our clients and ensure that all equipment performs to the necessary standards. That's why, after providing start up services, we schedule routine follow-ups and an 11-month review, to solicit client feedback ensuring the end user has a continued relationship with the equipment manufacturer.
