Crane Worldwide Logistics Overview of Services

Crane Worldwide Reports on its Service Portfolio

HOUSTON (October 5, 2010) – Crane Worldwide Logistics, a full-service air, ocean, trucking, customs brokerage and logistics service provider based in Houston, Texas and with operations in 22 countries worldwide, has dramatically bucked the global recession since its founding two years ago. Launched in August 2008, Crane Worldwide Logistics has combined tremendous logistics industry experience with an innovative global operating system to deliver tailored supply chain solutions. As industry authority Eye for Transport has declared, despite the global recession and its impact on shippers and logistics providers, “Crane Worldwide is staking its claim as a growing and successful new player in the industry.”

Crane Worldwide opened for operation in August of 2008 from the acquisition of three companies that gave them 12 offices, in 7 countries, and $50M in annual revenue. Two short years later, they now have 58 company owned offices in 22 countries and have annual revenue of $300M. The extensive experience of the leadership team comes from multiple “best in class” companies to create a well balanced organization with expertise in domestic white glove, as well as international air/ocean and trade services.

“At the heart of our growth is our five point value proposition,” explains President John Magee. “We were helped in defining these by our customers through our Customer Advisory Boards and they are what we use to guide our activities every day. Everyone in our organization knows these five fundamental values, and they also know how each one relates to the specific job being done.” A review of these five value propositions demonstrates the reasons for the exceptional growth Crane Worldwide Logistics has experienced.

People. “Now more than ever, enterprises need fresh ways to improve value and execute; and they want organizational and individual accountability from their logistics providers,” says Tim Zubradt, Vice President of Sales and Marketing.

Account Management. Crane Worldwide works with leading companies in a broad diversity of business sectors, including aerospace, automotive, energy, life sciences, retailing and technology.

Information Technology. “Unlike other logistics companies that grew through acquisition but failed to properly integrate their legacy computer systems, Crane Worldwide has a single global operating system for better operations management, database accessibility and shipment reporting,” states Keith Winters, Executive Vice President of Operations.

Compliance and Quality. Global supply chain rules and regulations change constantly, and quality expectations continually increase.

Service Execution. At the end of the day, customers want a predictable supply chain and Crane Worldwide feels that can only be achieved if every shipment is measured against the promise to the customer of defect free, on time delivery.

Crane Worldwide believes that it is on track to meet its original milestones of achieving $1 billion in revenue by 2015. The words of the company’s Mission Statement present its strategy for achieving this future growth. “Crane Worldwide is dedicated to becoming the industry’s premier global provider of customized transportation and logistics services by delivering innovative, efficient and cost effective solutions. Our solutions create strategic value and a competitive edge for our global customers; while providing a challenging and rewarding work environment for our greatest asset, our own employees.”

Purolator Names Sean Kelly as Western U.S. District Sales Manager

October 5, 2010 – JERICHO, NY – Purolator USA, a leading provider of U.S./Canada cross border logistics, has appointed Sean Kelly to the position of District Manager for the western United States. In his position, Kelly will have responsibility for expanding Purolator’s presence in the region, directing sales and marketing priorities, and for ensuring consistency of process and customer experience.

Kelly assumes his new position after having successfully served as Purolator’s Eastern District Manager. During his tenure in that position, Kelly oversaw the company’s expansion into several key east coast markets, including the opening of a New York–metropolitan processing facility in Farmingdale, NY. Kelly has been with Purolator since 2004.

“Sean is exactly the right person to oversee Purolator’s continued expansion throughout the western United States,” says Director of Sales John Jensen. “Not only does he have extensive experience with cross border logistics and global supply chain operations, but Sean understands the importance of relationship building and customer service.”

U.S. businesses that ship regularly to Canada often find the process to be confusing and bureaucratic. The overwhelming majority of businesses choose to enlist the services of a third party logistics provider, but finding the right carrier can be difficult. This is because not every U.S. carrier has expertise in the Canadian market, or the capacity to offer global supply chain coverage.

“Purolator is increasingly looked to as the ‘go to’ provider for not only service to Canada, but as the source for global logistics solutions,” Jensen noted. “With Sean leading a team of exceptional sales professionals, I am confident that we will grow our business throughout the western U.S., and help to pave the way for businesses looking to expand their operations to Canada.”

As district manager for the western U.S., Kelly will have responsibility for Purolator’s branch office locations in Seattle, Los Angeles and Dallas-Ft. Worth, as well as for several satellite sales offices.

About Purolator USA

Purolator USA, Inc. is a subsidiary of Purolator Courier Ltd, Canada’s leading overnight courier company. Purolator USA specializes in the air and surface forwarding of Express, Freight and Parcel shipments, customs brokerage, fulfillment and delivery services to, from and within Canada.
