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.

Last night, a small group of Logistics Plus representatives attended the Manufacturer & Business Association (MBA) 112th Annual Event at the Bayfront Convention Center in Erie, PA. As a long-time member of the MBA, and as the company that manages the MBA Logistics Program on behalf of MBA members, it was an honor, once again, to sponsor and attend the annual event. Logistics Plus was one of a handful of proud corporate sponsors for this year’s event which featured legendary coach and analyst, Lou Holtz, as the keynote speaker. Here is a short slideshow with some photographs from the Logistics Plus Flickr page:

Blaine Kurtz, director of aerospace and defense for Logistics Plus, recently attended two major government events: the U.S. Air Force Association Annual National Convention and the U.S. Modern Day Marine Expo. By all accounts, both events were well-attended and Logistics Plus was successful in strengthening our ties with key government and military logistics professionals. Here are a few photos taken by Blaine at the two events. If you’re interested in learning more about our aerospace, aviation and/or defense solutions, you can email us at aerospace@logisticsplus.com.

It was such an honor for Logistics Plus to have sponsored 2017 Best of Varsity Cup event which culminated with the awards banquet Friday evening at the Erie Bayfront Convention Center. Jim Berlin founded Logistics Plus 20 years ago with one guiding principle: Passion For Excellence. That passion has helped transform Logistics Plus from what it was in 1996: Three employees and one customer … to what it is today: A global company, based right here in Erie, with over 400 employees serving thousands of customers all around the world. Clearly, the district 10 student-athletes honored Friday evening also have a strong passion for excellence. We hope these student-athletes keep that same passion and competitiveness as they move on to the next phases of their lives. Whether that involves athletics, education, starting a career, or raising a family – having a passion for what you do will ensure your continued success in life.
You can read the final recap from Erie Times-News online at GoErie.com. Also included here are some photographs of Logistics Plus employees at the event (Flickr slide show below), and a couple videos from WICU 12 via ErieNewsNow.com.
