Logistics Plus Purchases Former Skinner Engine Company Building

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Logistics Plus Purchases Former Skinner Engine Company Building
 

Erie, PA, October 1, 2013 – Logistics Plus is the proud new owner of a warehouse located in the former Skinner Engine Company building on 12th Street between Chestnut and Myrtle Streets.

Along with 50,000 square feet of storage space, the secured facility offers spacious offices, bulk storage and racked storage, an inventory control management system, overhead cranes, three recessed loading docks, and grade level doors with inside load/unload capabilities.  Logistics Plus already has most of the space filled, although there is still office space available in this central location on busy 12th Street.

This warehouse is a welcome addition to the transportation and supply chain solutions that Logistics Plus already offers, and also helps to revitalize a portion of 12th Street in Erie.  By providing the financing, Marquette Savings Bank and the City of Erie were vital partners in this project.

We have been using Logistics Plus for the past three years. Their response time, pricing, and services is one of the best in the industry. Many times we have complicated shipments that require special equipment or are in remote areas and they come through every time. The eShipPlus online program is also very easy to use for quotes, booking, tracking and printing the necessary shipment documentation.

Logistics Plus has provided Ernst Conservation Seeds the tools needed to give our customers the best price and service available. Their staff is top notch, friendly, and responsive. I recommend them over any other logistics company around. They make my job much easier and I absolutely appreciate it!

The Logistics Plus staff have been “just what the doctor ordered” for this supervisor. I have very little time to breathe when it comes to planning for this facility, so the added burden of scheduling truck traffic probably would have put me over the deep end. Logistics Plus and their website have made it easy to schedule our shipping needs, and they have saved us money and time as well. If we need to speak to a representative they are always there to answer the phone. I would highly recommend Logistics Plus to any business that has a need for LTL or truckload shipments.
