Scott Ruffin, formerly with Amazon Air, is bringing to Bucks County the business savvy he learned as head of Walmart’s e-commerce transportation arm. Rufin’s new enterprise, Pandion, will open in Quakertown and bring jobs, report Rick Morgan and Ryan Sharrow for the Philadelphia Business Journal.

The venture now has $30 million in startup funding, usable to establish a 150,000 sq. ft. sorting center. Eighty open employee slots come with the launch.

The new capital consists of a $22.5 million Series A and a $7.5 million add-on investment.

The company’s mission is to “…provide low-cost, high-performance delivery that’s purpose-built for e-commerce,” Ruffin said.

The fresh funding “will help us continue to scale our technology and sortation center teams as we start operations ahead of another holiday shopping season where demand is expected to significantly outpace capacity,” he said.

The facility will open this fall. Open positions include a warehouse lead, part-time weekend warehouse associates, and material handlers.

Pandion was founded in 2020. Its shipping network uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to offer one- and two-day deliveries.
