Earlier today, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf visited Logistics Plus to meet with employees and view the company’s plans for the expansion of its global headquarters at the historic Union Station in the City of Erie. Erie County Executive, Kathy Dahlkemper, and other local officials were also on hand.
“It’s exciting to be in Erie touring another thriving company,” said Governor Wolf. “I am committed to supporting the growing business climate in the region and love to see first-hand what an innovative company like Logistics Plus has planned for the future.”
Coordinated by the Governor’s Action Team, last month, Logistics Plus announced its plans to expand and create 44 new, family-sustaining jobs in Erie. Today, the governor toured the company’s facility and planned expansion site. The expanded facility will allow for the handling of all logistics for clients, from order intake to shipping and installation.
“Logistics Plus has grown from a three-person operation in 1996, to a global organization, employing over 130 people in Erie alone. We are grateful to Governor Wolf and the commonwealth for acknowledging our efforts to attract and retain local graduates,” commented Gretchen Seth, Senior VP of International. “Our CEO Jim Berlin calls it the ‘brain gain’.”
