Logistics Plus Sponsors Best of Varsity Cup 2019 Presented by Erie Times-News/GoErie.com
It is the third-consecutive year that Logistics Plus has been a marquee sponsor.
ERIE, PA (May 14, 2019) – Logistics Plus Inc., a leading worldwide provider of transportation, logistics and supply chain solutions, is proud to announce that, for the third consecutive year, it is sponsoring the Best of Varsity Cup presented by Erie Times-News/GoErie.com. The event is to celebrate and honor the accomplishments of the 2018-2019 All-Area high school student athletes and top performers from 45 high schools across 8 Counties in 24 sports.
The 2019 awards banquet, which takes place next month on Wednesday, June 26th at the Bayfront Convention Center in Erie, PA, is a way to say thank you to the thousands of outstanding high school athletes, coaches and fans who allow Erie Times-News/GoErie.com to share their stories, performances and passions. Awards will be presented to the Outstanding Player of the Year in each sport, as well as Male Athlete of the Year, Female Athlete of the Year and Coach of the Year. Best of Varsity Cup athletes are invited to attend for free and the event is open to family, friends and the general public.
As a primary sponsor, Logistics Plus is also proud to welcome Pro Football Hall of Fame legend and former Buffalo Bills quarterback, Jim Kelly, as the guest speaker for this year’s Best of Varsity Cup awards dinner. Kelly originally was scheduled to attend the 2018 Varsity Cup, but because of a recurrence of cancer and his continuing recovery last spring the Times-News was unable to have Kelly serve as the main speaker. Pittsburgh Steelers great Hines Ward served as the speaker last year in Kelly’s absence.
“All of us at Logistics Plus are proud to be associated with the Best of Varsity Cup for a third consecutive year,” said Jim Berlin, founder and CEO of Logistics Plus. “The dedication, hard-work, and passion for excellence shown by these young athletes are traits that we all admire and share here at Logistics Plus.” Berlin added, “As a lifelong Bills fan, I am also very excited that Jim Kelly will be our special guest for the dinner this year.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Logistics Plus Inc. Opens New “Logistics Plus Chemical SCM” Entity in India
New India division devoted to serving the supply chain management needs of the chemical industry
ERIE, PA (January 9, 2019) – Logistics Plus Inc., a leading worldwide provider of transportation, logistics and supply chain solutions, has launched a new division in India that will focus exclusively on serving the supply chain management needs of the chemicals and petrochemicals industry. Logistics Plus Chemical SCM (or LP CSCM), as the entity will be known, has opened an office in Thane, India at the following address:
LP LOGISTICS PLUS CHEMICAL SCM PVT LTD
Centrum Office #709, 7th Floor
Opp. Thane Municipal Corporation
Majiwade Prabhag Samiti Office
MIDC Area, Wagle Industrial Estate,
Thane, India -400604
Land line: 022 20811506/505
Email: achu.k@logisticsplus.com
India’s trade growth remains the highest among a group of seven economies assessed by the Global Trade Barometer study. For air exports, Chemicals & Products and Consumer Fashion Goods are expected to perform well, and ocean trade is in the same high-growth cycle as air trade. The main engine for ocean exports growth is the positive outlook for Industrial Raw Materials. In addition, Chemicals & Products as well as Temperature or Climate Controlled Goods are also expected to contribute significantly to the ocean exports outlook.
With supply chain management in India being largely nascent, LP CSCM will bring a full suite of 3½PL and 4PL solutions to petrochemical and chemical companies located in India. The specialized entity will bring in excellent technologies, service capabilities, market ‘know-how,’ an unmatched global portfolio, and a network of relationships to create unparalleled value for its customers.
“I am excited we are launching this new entity in India to bring our trademark ‘passion for excellence’ to the buoying petrochemical and chemical space in India,” said Jim Berlin, founder and CEO of Logistics Plus Inc. “By output, India is the sixth largest producer of chemicals worldwide and third largest producer in Asia. We have yet another unique opportunity to create a customer-centric global specialty chemical company with an enhanced focus which will not only anticipate the future, but also shape it.”
India’s economic growth is expected to be around 7.3 percent for fiscal year 2018/19, up from 6.7 percent in the year prior. The goods and services tax created a unified national market for the first time by lowering internal barriers to trade—effectively establishing a free trade agreement for a market of over 1.3 billion people. For the first two quarters of FY 2017-18, production of total major chemicals and basic petrochemicals stood at 12816 MT, while that of major chemicals was 5307 MT. The chemicals sector also acts as a key enabling industry and provides support for a variety of other sectors like agriculture, pharma, construction, leather, and others.
