FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Today, June 28th, is NATIONAL LOGISTICS DAY!

A day to recognize and appreciate the importance of the logistics industry.

ERIE, PA. (June 28, 2019) – As previously announced by Logistics Plus Inc., and as recognized by the Registrar at National Day Calendar, today, June 28th, is NATIONAL LOGISTICS DAY – a new annual day to recognize and appreciate the importance of the logistics industry in both our national and global economies.

In addition to National Day Calendar registration, U.S. Senator Patrick Toomey and Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf both offered their unwavering support for NATIONAL LOGISTICS DAY. Earlier this month, Pennsylvania Representatives Robert Merski, Patrick Harkins, and Ryan Bizzarro co-sponsored a unanimously approved resolution within the PA House of Representatives to officially honor NATIONAL LOGISTICS DAY. Other states, including the State of Ohio, have offered similar support.

Logistics accounts for nearly 8% of everything we make and sell in the United States. That includes packaging, warehousing, shipping, and more. More than 50 million people are employed worldwide in the field of logistics! The third-party logistics (3PL) industry – those that help businesses efficiently manage logistics across their supply chains (from 3PLs to truckers to warehouse managers) – represents an $800 billion industry on its own.

National Logistics Day Officially Honored

by logisticsplus | Jun 20, 2019 | News

Pennsylvania House Resolution 395 was unanimously passed (with 200 Yea votes) officially honoring June 28th as National Logistics Day. National Logistics Day is a new annual day to recognize and appreciate the importance of the logistics industry in both our national and global economies.

Proudly representing Logistics Plus at the Pennsylvania State Capitol Complex were Scott Frederick, Gretchen Blough, Adam Mook, and Josh Nkomo. Representative Robert E. Merski presented the resolution with his co-sponsors, Representatives Ryan Bizzarro and Patrick Harkins, at his side.

“Successful companies share at least one important trait – they all manage to get their product to the market smoothly, efficiently and on time,” Merski said. “Regardless of the means used to store, ship and deliver goods, it’s clear our modern economy cannot function without logistics. I’m delighted the House unanimously adopted my resolution recognizing the vital role logistics plays, and I’m equally pleased that representatives of Erie-based Logistics Plus – a state-of-the art provider of logistics worldwide – could be here to see the resolution adopted.”

Bizzarro agreed, saying, “Companies like Logistics Plus play a key role, not only in helping businesses throughout the world efficiently deliver their products, but in keeping our regional economy thriving. We’re so glad to support the efforts of this key area employer as it works to champion the cause of recognizing ‘National Logistics Day.”

Harkins said that he understands from personal experience the importance of efficient delivery of goods. “While working as a driver for United Parcel Service for 25 years, I came to understand the vital importance of coordinated, efficient delivery of goods and the impact its success or failure can have – not just on a company but on its consumers, its employees, their families and the entire community. I’d glad to see the importance of logistics recognized today.”
