DALLAS, TEXAS, December 9, 2014 – Jenny Melgert, Dallas branch manager for Logistics Plus Inc., a worldwide provider of transportation and logistics services, was presented with the company’s 2014 Branch Manager of the Year Award. Logistics Plus has over 36 branch offices across 20 countries around the world.
Melgert and her local team earned the annual award by leading the Dallas/Irving office to approximately 30% revenue growth in 2014 which surpassed other comparable Logistics Plus branch offices during the year – a significant achievement as part of a company that was recently named one of the fastest-growing private companies in America by Inc. magazine.

“Jenny is always hands-on, straightforward, and resourceful and has been putting together the right team in place to handle the current business and the future growth,” commented Jim Berlin, CEO, and founder of Logistics Plus. “She maintains a great sense of humor and positive spirit – and she still finds time to raise her three beautiful daughters, Alex, Maddy, and Charlie, who was born this year. Jenny is one of the shining stars at Logistics Plus and very much deserves this award.”

I want to reach out to you and let you know how valuable Pawel Wronski (from Logistics Plus Poland office) has been to (us) with his handling the logistics of our specially designed resistivity collars orders. These collars are made in Austria … and due to their size and weight present some challenges. At first, (a different logistics company) was handling logistics, and it was taking two weeks for a collar to get here after completion. We contacted Logistics Plus and Pawel was able to successfully get our collars here in less than a week, and some even down to 4-5 days . The time he saved us has enabled us the ability to convert the two orders that equate to over $6MM. He has been a pleasure to work with and is always readily available to answer all my questions.
