FROM PENNSYLVANIA GOVERNOR TOM WOLF NEWSROOM
(see actual news release)
Governor Wolf Announces Logistics Plus, Inc. to Expand and Create 44 New Jobs in the City of Erie
HARRISBURG, Pa. (July 15, 2017) – Today, Governor Tom Wolf announced that Logistics Plus, Inc., a worldwide supply chain management company, will expand its headquarters in the City of Erie, and will create 44 new jobs.
“This expansion in the heart of the City of Erie will bring 44 family-sustaining jobs to a location in the center of the city’s downtown,” said Governor Wolf. “My administration has worked closely with Erie to support its growing business climate and this expansion project is another great investment for the region.”
The expanded facility will allow for the handling of all logistics for clients, from order intake to shipping and installation. Logistics Plus has committed to investing at least $1.2 million into the project, which will create 44 new, full-time jobs and retain 123 more positions statewide.
“It’s very gratifying to be able to create good-paying, fun and interesting jobs with a growing, cutting-edge global company right here in Erie, Pennsylvania,” said Jim Berlin, founder and CEO of Logistics Plus. “Keeping talented people in the Erie area is good for the community and for the local economy.”
Logistics Plus, Inc. received a funding proposal from the Department of Community and Economic Development for $88,000 in Job Creation Tax Credits to be issued after the new jobs are created. The company has also been encouraged to apply for a $2 million low-interest loan from the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority.
The project was coordinated by the Governor’s Action Team, an experienced group of economic development professionals who report directly to the governor and work with businesses that are considering locating or expanding in Pennsylvania, with the assistance of the City of Erie’s Department of Economic and Community Development.
Logistics Plus Inc. is a worldwide provider of transportation, warehousing, global logistics, and supply chain solutions. Founded in Erie by local entrepreneur Jim Berlin 20 years ago, Logistics Plus employs over 400 people and has been repeatedly recognized as one of the fastest-growing transportation and logistics companies in the country.

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.
