Logistics Plus Named a 2021 Top 3PL by Multichannel Merchant
It’s the fourth straight year that Logistics Plus has been named to the list.
ERIE, PA (December 21, 2020) – Logistics Plus Inc. (LP), a leading worldwide provider of transportation, logistics, and supply chain solutions, is proud to announce it has been named a Multichannel Merchant (MCM) Top 3PL for 2021 for a fourth consecutive year. Logistics Plus will be joining dozens of other leading third-party logistics providers selected by Multichannel Merchant in its sixth annual directory.
3PLs, already growing in importance before COVID-19, have seen significant growth in 2020 as the massive shift to e-commerce fuels demand for outsourced warehousing, fulfillment, and logistics operations. The company profiles in the MCM Top 3PL directory include vital information to help merchants in their selection process, including critical services, average annual client order volume, top merchandise categories handled, facility locations, and more. The directory is available throughout the year.
“E-commerce and DTC merchants need experienced, qualified 3PL partners as they handle unprecedented growth in their online business, and lack the internal resources or expertise,” said Mike O’Brien, Senior Content Manager of Multichannel Merchant. “Each company has been selected based on their industry experience, services offered, performance, and range of capabilities.”

“Warehousing and fulfillment continue to drive a lot of our growth. That’s why we’ve invested in an additional one million square feet of warehousing space this past year, giving us well over two million square feet in the United States alone,” said Jim Berlin, founder and CEO of Logistics Plus. “I’m not a ‘crystal ball’ kind of guy, but even I can feel that because of the pandemic, and what will be a new and different normal, Warehousing and fulfillment will be an even bigger thing in the future than it’s been in the past. I believe we’ve made some good moves to expand our capabilities at the right time.”

1. Steel Components from Germany to Scotland
Logistics Plus successfully delivered two steel components (each 15.70m x 5.40m x 4.05m / 54 mts) from Germany to a distillery in Bora, Scotland. This project faced multiple challenges including the mandatory guidelines for loading and routing by the Department of Transportation, the limited space on the North Sea Ferry service, and the wintery road conditions in the Scottish Highlands. Despite these challenges, the components were delivered on-time and in perfect condition.
