Founded in 1905, the Manufacturer & Business Association is a not-for-profit employers’ association whose focus is to help businesses succeed. It partners with more than 4,000 businesses in Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio, providing a host of membership benefits including:
With tight delivery requirements from your customers and the high cost of logistics, you need a reliable partner willing and able to do more for you. Logistics Plus is an experienced company that understands the day-to-day needs for great logistics support, but also the unique requirements of the Aerospace and Defense (A&D) industry.
As a manufacturer or service organization in A&D you face greater pressures for quality, delivery and costs every day, but there are also significant new demands from changing markets. Where the market grows fastest is in countries like India, China, Brazil and even Russia, and if your support requirements extend there, we can help you serve those customers as well as you look after the domestic market.
Forward inventories? We can help you maintain control in our warehouses.
Export licenses? Our Compliance Team can get them for you or help you set up your own export routines.
Manufacturing? Our Projects team can move large equipment around the world and to any off-shore plant locations that need supplied.
Freight? Talk with us about air or ocean freight and moving material from port or airport to its final destination.
Customs issues? Our brokerage experts can help you avoid delays and reduce cost.
We have 10 domestic office locations to give you hands-on support, and we have our own offices in 20 countries around the world. Where we don’t have our own offices, we have a network of trusted brokers who are committed to our service standards and will provide the same outstanding coverage that our customers have come to expect.
If you are a supply chain or logistics professional in the aerospace, aviation or defense industry, tell us your logistics challenge and let our team of industry experts go to work putting together a solution for you. Just click the button below, or email aerospace@logisticsplus.com.

At Logistics Plus, we celebrate the multi-national diversity of our employees, customers, friends and family throughout the year – and especially throughout the holiday season. It is, therefore, appropriate that we take a quick look at different ways to greet coworkers, friends and family in their native language (and put smiles on their faces by trying).
Use the infographic below (from Pixaal.com) to learn how to say “Merry Christmas” and “Santa Claus” in other countries.

It’s no secret that the holiday season has increasingly become a season for shopping. But with the development of technology, more shoppers are turning to online retailers to find the perfect gift for their loved ones, putting even more pressure on shipping companies. The infographic below shows just how busy carriers like UPS, USPS and FedEx were during the 2009 and 2010 holidays. Just imagine what these numbers must look like today!

It has been another great year, and I would like to thank all of our customers and partners for playing an important role in the growth and success of Logistics Plus. This year, your loyalty and support have helped us to be recognized as: the non-manufacturing Employer of the Year in northwestern PA (by the DevelopErie economic development agency); a top 50 freight brokerage firm (by Transport Topics magazine); and a 2015 Great Supply Chain Partner (by SupplyChainBrain magazine). It has also allowed us to give back to the community through our support of the United Way, the American Heart Association, and many other charitable organizations.
In North America, we continue to negotiate great transportation rates on your behalf, and we expanded our network to include even more reputable freight carriers and agents. With 24 locations across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, we continue to provide best-in-class LTL, truckload, and freight forwarding services. We also opened a new general purpose foreign trade zone (FTZ) warehouse in Erie, PA; and we moved our Dallas/Fort Worth, TX warehouse to a larger facility – also with activated FTZ status.
On the global front, we continue to open new offices in strategic locations such as Bahrain, Egypt, and UAE, giving us over 20 more offices in 16 additional countries around the world. Our international staff continues to do an amazing job handling global shipments and unique project cargo from start-to-finish, and doing the things that other logistics companies either can’t or won’t do. As a licensed customs broker with a fully-staffed global trade compliance department, we are well-suited to help customers with all of their import and export shipping needs in the years to come.
If you worked with Logistics Plus this past year, on behalf of all our employees – thank you for your business! If we haven’t yet worked with you, I welcome the opportunity to do so in 2016. As you’ll see in the video above, we have a diverse mix of talented and caring people here at Logistics Plus – people who are creative, resourceful and willing to work 24/7/365 to help our customers be successful in all aspects of shipping and logistics. That’s how we put the “plus” in Logistics Plus.
Best wishes for a joyous holiday season and a wonderful New Year!
Warm regards,
Jim Berlin
