Over the past week, the west coast Logistics Plus warehouses held a forklift training for the manager of the different buildings. Since each manager is already forklift certified, this training was to certify that each manager could now handle the local forklift training certifications for the rest of the warehouse employees (a “train the trainer” approach).
Last week, the U.S.-Ukraine Business Council (USUBC) held a U.S.-Ukraine Partnership Forum organized by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington, followed by a business breakfast about the Recovery and development of Ukraine’s economy in 2023. They were honored to have Halyna Yanchenko, a member of the Ukrainian Parliament, Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine/ Secretary of the National Investment Council, and Taras Kachka, Deputy Minister of Economy, as speakers. The USUBC conveyed a special thank you to Palantir Technologies, a member of USUBC, for hosting this event in Washington, D.C, and to Wendy R. Anderson, SVP, Federal, National Security, for a warm reception and opening remarks.
The meeting brought together leaders from companies such as Logistics Plus (represented by Derek Berlin, pictured here, top second from the left), Honeywell, Corteva Agriscience, Walmart, Northrop Grumman, Trimble Inc., Amsted Rail, PwC, CalypsoAI, Kinstellar, Depsol Technologies, LLC, U.S.-Ukraine Foundation, Rebuilding Ukraine Agency, and other members. The collective group explored the Ukrainian Government’s initiatives to promote private sector investment and their projections for Ukraine’s economic reconstruction this year.

The Logistics Plus (LP) Poland project cargo team has been busy since the start of the year, completing several projects across the country. Listed below (and highlighted in the video) are some of the most recent projects handled by LP Poland.
LP Poland transported a module with dimensions of 30m x 4.55m x 4.60m that weighed 65 tons. The module was transported through Scandinavia to the South of Italy. The permit process took four weeks due to the oversized dimensions, and the team battled unfavorable weather conditions during the move.
LP Poland teamed up with Drewes Logistics BV to transport two presses from Belgium to Poland. The max weight of a single unit was 58 tons.
LP Poland transported three over-dimensional roll trailers from Poland to Mexico. The team arranged the road transportation, permits and escorts, re-loading in Hamburg, and then ocean transport to Altamira, Mexico.
LP Poland transported an oversized skid (4.55m tall) from Poland to Denmark. Due to the local height limitations, some of the road sections weren’t suitable for the height of the cargo. This forced the team to take a different route through a backroad with a police escort. The shipment reached the job site within three nights.
The Logistics Plus (LP) Turkey Project Cargo team successfully completed a transformers project from Turkey to Saudi Arabia. The LP Turkey team handled six sets of transformers, with the heaviest ones weighing 234 metric tons each. In total, 3,360 CBM worth of cargo was transported to Dammam, Saudi Arabia.
Logistics Plus Global Projects Director Bahadir Erdil shared his thoughts on this project. “I couldn’t be more proud of the LP Turkey team. We’ve shown that we are capable of handling anything our clients throw at us,” He added, “We’ve become a world-class Project Cargo provider, and we’ll continue to build momentum moving forward.”
