Logistics Plus was once again a proud sponsor for this years event. As a long-time member of the MBA, Logistics Plus also manages the MBA Logistics Program on behalf of MBA members.
Logistics Plus was one of a handful of proud corporate sponsors for this year’s event which featured the COO and President of FOCUS Brands, Kat Cole, as the keynote speaker. You can view photos from the event below or on the Logistics Plus Flickr page.
Logistics Plus was one of four finalists in the top “Commitment to Erie, more than 50 employees” category at the 8th Annual Commitment to Erie Awards held on Thursday, September 19 at the Bayfront Convention Center. We are proud to have been considered for another award in recognition of the commitment that Jim Berlin, and the employees of Logistics Plus, have to the Erie community. Although we didn’t win the top spot, we’d like to congratulate our academic partner, Penn State Behrend, for earning the final award. Also, congratulations to our neighbor, The BrewErie at Union Station, for being a finalist in the “Commitment to Erie, 50 or fewer employees” category.
Shown here is a video that was produced by Erie Time-News, the event host, and played at the event. Also included below is a copy of the nomination submission that earned Logistics Plus a spot among the finalists.

On September 7th, nearly 20 Logistics Plus employees participated and conquered the 2019 Barber Beast on the Bay! As the official medal sponsor for the event, Logistics Plus was proud to help support the Barber National Institute for the work they do in the Erie community. The Barber National Institute helps children and adults with autism, intellectual disabilities, and behavioral health challenges.
The Beast on the Bay is a challenging 10-mile race that features 30 obstacles in the sand, lake, swamp, and trails. Congratulations to everyone who participated and completed this challenging, yet exciting course.
Erie never gave up the ship* … and Logistics Plus never gives up theshipment! In that spirit, Logistics Plus was the proud sponsor of the Picton Castle, one of many vessels that participated in the 2019 Tall Ships Erie Festival from August 22nd to the 25th. The Tall Ships festival is a three-day maritime celebration hosted at various Erie waterfront locations. The event offered the opportunity for people to sail away on select ships, enjoy live music and entertainment, try out local food vendors, host children’s activities, and much more.
* “Don’t give up the ship” was the famous dying command of James Lawrence in 1813 aboard the USS Chesapeake
In addition to the three-day Tall Ships event, Logistics Plus hosted its 23rd annual anniversary party Friday night at the Erie Maritime Museum where the Picton Castle was docked. Logistics Plus employees were joined by customers, partners, and guests who were able to tour the Picton Castle, explore the Maritime Museum, and enjoy light food and beverages. Thank you to everyone who attended and helped us celebrate this special occasion!
Logistics Plus has proudly partnered with WPSE AM 1450/FM 107.1 Radio to help bring a full slate of area high school football games – and Cleveland Browns professional football games – to radio airwaves in Erie, PA. As a presenting sponsor, Logistics Plus will be mentioned prominently throughout each broadcast starting with today’s Browns game at 3:30 pm and again on tonight’s Mercyhurst Prep versus Meadville game at 6:30 pm (streaming only). The sponsorship was a natural fit for Logistics Plus which has already been a marquee sponsor for Best of Varsity Cup the past three years: the annual event that celebrates and honors the accomplishments of District 10 All-Area high school student-athletes and top performers.
Game schedules are included below, as well as a couple examples of the Logistics Plus “commercials” that will air during the games.
