I’m new to (my company), and we haven’t worked together before (great to meet you!). I wanted to reach out and thank you for your support here.
I’ve got to tell you that your communication throughout this process has been superb. You were proactive, giving us updates at each step. And very friendly and informative throughout the process.
Your partnership is much appreciated – great job, and thank you!
Logistics Plus Turkey is proud to announce that they have planted 10,000 pine bushes in the Bergama, Kinik region of Turkey, creating the ‘Logistics Plus Memorial Forest.’ To learn more about the project, watch the video below or on the Logistics Plus YouTube Channel.
The Aegean Forest Foundation, which was established in 1995; offers projects, practices, and trainings for the creation and sustainability of new forest areas, forest fires, land degradation, desertification, floodplain improvement, climate change, protection of biodiversity, rural development, adaptation of low carbon emission technologies, renewable energy, and energy efficiency working to raise awareness.
Our foundation carries out its forestation activities within the framework of the protocols it signed with the Ministry of Forestry. In 26 years, we have enabled nearly 12 million saplings to become trees and mix with the forest on an area of 75 thousand decares.
The saplings we planted when we were founded, the size of a pencil, have turned into trees today and mixed with the forests. This painting is our pride.
You created the “LOGISTICS PLUS MEMORIAL FOREST” by donating 10 thousand saplings to our İzmir Kırkgeçit afforestation project, where 50 thousand saplings were planted on 35 hectares of land.
Thank you for the support you give to our forests, which is the greatest legacy we can leave to future generations.
Logistics Plus Customs Brokerage Manager Gretchen Blough makes another appearance on Marketplace, hosted by Kai Ryssdal, to discuss China tariffs.
The White House appears to be at an impasse on the future of the Trump-era tariffs on imports from China: Keep them as leverage or lift them to help curb inflation? And while that debate inside the administration continues, the customs brokers caught in the middle are stuck waiting.
“I have a fabulous team, and I had to tell them, ‘Please don’t be so efficient,’” said Blough, who works at Logistics Plus in Erie, Pennsylvania. “‘Please clear the shipments that are coming from China a little bit closer to the actual arrival time, so if we have to make adjustments, we can with minimal interruption.’”

Kudos to Kalynne Ziacik, a Logistics Plus Air Import Specialist, for helping a major, global retailer with a critical Lego® window display delivery for their flagship NY store. The shipment was delivered intact ahead of their deadline. It was another LP team effort, but you could also say that Kalynne did most of the ‘leg-o-work’ on this project ?.
