This is the 13th straight year that Logistics Plus has been CTPAT approved by CBP.
ERIE, PA (January 6, 2021) – Logistics Plus Inc. (LP), a leading worldwide provider of transportation, logistics, and supply chain solutions, is pleased to share that the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) recently reviewed and renewed its Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT) partnership status for 2021.

From its inception in November 2001, CTPAT continues to grow. Today, more than 11,400 certified partners spanning the gamut of the trade community have been accepted into the program. The partners include U.S. importers/exporters, U.S./Canada highway carriers; U.S./Mexico highway carriers; rail and sea carriers; licensed U.S. Customs brokers; U.S. marine port authority/terminal operators; U.S. freight consolidators; ocean transportation intermediaries and non‐operating common carriers; Mexican and Canadian manufacturers; and Mexican long‐haul carriers, all of whom account for over 52 percent (by value) of cargo imported into the U.S.
Adam Mook comments
“By going through the rigorous CTPAT renewal process, Logistics Plus will continue to help shippers coordinate their cross-border moves with reduced CBP examinations, front of the line inspections, and shorter wait times at the border,” said Logistics Plus Compliance Department Manager Adam Mook. “Making sure our compliance standards meet or exceed the CTPAT annual requirements confirms that Logistics Plus is committed to security and protection for our customers and the entire supply chain.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
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.”
Scott Motter manages one of LP’s many U.S. warehouses
“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.”
