Hello world! We (the Logistics Plus family) would like to welcome you to BerlinsWall.com. We created Berlin’s Wall as a writing outlet for our respected, founder and CEO, Jim Berlin. The website, which is still a bit of work in progress, was created to be both a written and visual expression for our leader (see the photos and memorabilia in the masthead, shown below, which many of us have come to associate with Jim).
According to Jim … “Berlin’s Wall will be a way that I keep folks in touch with the goings on at LP. As with my Thought for the Day these past 21 years, some thoughts may be serious and hopefully deep, others whimsical and foolish (probably lots of those unfortunately ?). It will just be a view from the deck of the Starship LP as we continue ONWARD through this universe we are traversing. This great LP Adventure.”
You can read Jim’s very first post here: https://berlinswall.com/for-my-first-berlin-wall-in-many-years/ You can also subscribe to Berlin’s Wall by entering your email address in the upper right hand side of the website.
On so, on behalf of the entire Logistics Plus global family of employees (now 450+ strong), we hope you enjoy Jim’s writings, ramblings, wit, and wisdom … just as we do every day!

(Check out this online article from LiveMint featuring Sundreysh Sarup, Managing Director for Logistics Plus India)
Like most people, Sundreysh Sarup started running to get fitter and lose weight. He began walking and slow jogging in 2012, and gave himself a year to train for his first half marathon in Delhi in 2013. Since then, he has run about 10 half marathons, as well as a few 10K, runs. Last year, in the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon (ADHM), he achieved his personal best time of 2 hours, 16 minutes for a 21.1km run. The managing director of Logistics Plus Pvt. Ltd is often joined in his runs by his 11-year-old son; they both look on it as father-son bonding time.

Like most logistics companies right now, Logistics Plus (LP) is not immune to the challenges and tribulations of getting shipments delivered to the hurricane impacted island of Puerto Rico. However, true to LP form, our team continues to work tirelessly to “make it happen” when our customers come calling. One such customer, Amphenol – one of the largest manufacturers of interconnect products in the world – came to us immediately after Hurricane Maria tore through the Caribbean to see if we could help deliver a satellite phone from St. Marys, PA to its Añasco, Puerto Rico manufacturing facility. The facility had virtually no power and had lost all communications, and the satellite phone would be its lifeline to the outside world. Since LP already provides dedicated transportation and compliance services to Amphenol, it was only natural they should turn to us for this critical shipment.
Rosy Trevino, the LP logistics and compliance specialist dedicated to Amphenol, immediately recruited Libby O’Hara from the LP North American transportation team. Together, working day and night (and through the weekend) they found a personal courier who would then hand-carry and deliver the satellite phone to Añasco, Puerto Rico. Since no cargo planes were flying to or from Puerto Rico, the courier was booked on a passenger flight – one of only a few allowed to land in Puerto Rico. Upon landing, the courier had to rent a car and then drive three hours west of the airport – through hurricane ravaged areas – to finally deliver the shipment. In the end, the satellite phone was delivered in just two days after the hurricane hit, allowing the local Amphenol facility to resume communications with customers and suppliers.
In the subsequent days that followed, Rosy and Libby arranged for additional deliveries of critical manufacturing components, including two packages of parts from California and 30 packages from Michigan – both shipments hand-delivered to Puerto Rico via personal courier services arranged by the LP team! Additionally, we continue to work relentlessly to get more shipments to the Amphenol facility in Añasco, Puerto Rico, including an ocean container from China that was initially re-routed to Jamaica but will finally deliver today.
A big thank you to Rosy and Libby and the rest of the LP team that has worked behind the scenes to support this important customer and their critical shipments going into Puerto Rico. Your passion for excellence has not gone unnoticed!
