FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Logistics Plus Acquires Lynx Fulfillment, LLC

All Lynx Fulfillment, LLC assets and employees will be rebranded as Logistics Plus Fulfillment Solutions

ERIE, PA (November 2, 2017) – Logistics Plus Inc., a leading worldwide provider of transportation, logistics and supply chain solutions, announced today that it has acquired complete ownership of Lynx Fulfillment, LLC. Prior to the acquisition, Lynx Fulfillment was partially-owned by Logistics Plus. As part of the agreement, Lynx Fulfillment will be rebranded as Logistics Plus Fulfillment Solutions (aka LP Fulfillment). Additionally, Patrick Randolph, the Managing Director and partial-owner of Lynx Fulfillment, has joined Logistics Plus to head up its fast-growing LP Fulfillment division.

Lynx Fulfillment is based in Olean, NY with over 40,000 square feet of dedicated warehousing and fulfillment space. It has a second 10,000 square-foot operation located in Carson, CA. The company, which specializes in customized pick, pack, and ship order fulfillment solutions, has over 60 clients and employs over a dozen experienced warehousing, fulfillment and customer service specialists. All assets and employees were transitioned to Logistics Plus effective November 1, 2017.

“This is great news for both Lynx and LP clients,” said Randolph. “Lynx clients will enjoy the same personalized and professional services they had before, but now, as part of a larger, global organization, they’ll have access to additional services and resources. LP clients benefit by getting ready-access to additional warehousing and fulfillment capabilities, which now include well over one-million square feet of warehousing space at multiple locations across North America.”

“We’re excited to welcome Patrick and the Lynx Fulfillment team into the larger Logistics Plus family,” said Jim Berlin, founder and CEO for Logistics Plus. “Our fulfillment solutions continue to be an area of high-growth and high-interest for us. As an approved member of the Amazon Solutions Provider Network, I see even more growth opportunities for us going forward. Having Patrick and his team on board will really take this key area to the next-level.”

New Projects Completed by the Logistics Plus Project Cargo Team

by logisticsplus | Oct 31, 2017 | News

Here are two new projects recently completed by the Logistics Plus (LP) Project Cargo Team. For the first project shown below, the LP India team safely delivered the first GE locomotive from under hook to its track within 44 hours (for which we received a nice compliment from our customer). LP India’s scope was as follows:

Receiving cargo under hook;
Customs clearance;
The movement to identified location for the overnight halting of a locomotive; and
All equipment including shackles, strings, spreader beams, traverser, jacks, etc., were designed and made (produced from specific vendors) specific to GE’s requirements.

The second project shown below was completed by the LP Houston team and involved the safe loading of coiled tubings at Port Houston.

by logisticsplus | Oct 16, 2017 | News

Blaine Kurtz, director of aerospace and defense for Logistics Plus, attended the NDTA U.S. Department of Defense Annual Transportation & Logistics Forum last week to further introduce Logistics Plus to the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) community, and to deepen our involvement within the aerospace and defense industry. The annual forum provides an opportunity for USDOD service providers to meet with high level and grassroots transportation and logistics government personnel. The USDOD presents their “state of the union” on defense topics, their needs for near and future requirements, and provides a setting for service providers to offer and discuss their solutions. The event was attended by approximately 600 service providers and 600 USDOD participants. Shown below is a photograph of the forum exhibit hall and the Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff for the USDOD.
