Logistics Plus Takes First Place in the Breakbulk “Into the Wild” Photo Contest
Photo was displayed at Breakbulk Europe 2017 conference and in Breakbulk magazine.
ERIE, PA (May 5, 2017) – Logistics Plus Inc., a leading worldwide provider of transportation, logistics and supply chain solutions, is proud to announce it was awarded first place in the 2017 Breakbulk “Into the Wild” Photo Contest. Logistics Plus was presented with the award at the Breakbulk Europe 2017 conference which took place April 24-26 in Antwerp, Belgium.
The winning photograph, taken and submitted by the Logistics Plus Turkey division, was entitled “Winter Is Coming” and depicts a unique perspective of a steep tank being ocean transported. The cargo was being shipped from Istanbul to a factory in Orhangazi, Turkey. Due to snowy conditions and other factors, the cargo was uniquely transported on a modified car ferry.
Six times a year, Breakbulk hosts themed photo and video contests around a particular aspect of moving breakbulk and project cargo. The contests are open to all industry participants. Winners are selected by visitors to the website, so all participating companies are encouraged to get out the vote among their employees and friends. The winning entries can be viewed online at http://www.breakbulk.com/into-the-wild-standings/.
“The project cargo in this photo was an adventure and another example of our passion for excellence,” said Bahadir Erdil, Global Projects Director for Logistics Plus. “We drove through the heavy snow until the nearest shipyard to find an available ferry. There was no available barges on those dates so, as a solution, we found a car carrier ferry and cut some parts off the ferry to create a safe loading and discharging operation. We are thankful to Breakbulk and its constituency for recognizing our photo in this year’s contest.”

Logistics Plus Opens New Warehousing Operation in Ontario, California
Facility provides over 277 thousand square feet of new warehousing and fulfillment space.
ERIE, Pa. (January 5, 2017) – Logistics Plus Inc., a leading worldwide provider of transportation, logistics, and supply chain solutions, is proud to announce that it has established a new long-term, full-building warehousing and fulfillment operation at 1291 South Vintage Avenue in Ontario, California. The 272,448-square-foot building sits on 11 acres, 1.5 miles from Interstate 15, and features a fully secured yard, excellent freeway access, and 64 loading doors.
In addition to its new Ontario facility, Logistics Plus has an existing Los Angeles warehouse located at 2207 E. Carson Street in Carson, California. The expanded presence in Southern California was driven by the Company’s recent growth of supply chain solutions provided to WeWork®, the world’s leading co-working space provider, and increased demand from Amazon® retailers seeking third-party import, warehousing, and fulfillment services.
“We now have over 1 million square feet of warehousing space across North America,” said Jim Berlin, founder, and CEO for Logistics Plus. “Because we are managing the logistics for numerous, monthly WeWork office installations around the world, and with our status as an approved third-party for the Amazon Solutions Provider Network, we really needed another sizable, accessible, and reliable operation on the West Coast. The new Ontario facility provides us what we need to support current business and future growth.”
