Crowley's Logistics is a Top 100 3PL provider for fourth consecutive year
Crowley Maritime Corporation's logistics group has been selected as a Top 100 third-party logistics (3PL) provider by a major logistics industry trade publication for the fourth consecutive year, the Group press release said. The list serves as a qualitative assessment of service providers deemed as the best equipped to meet or surpass readers' evolving outsourcing needs.
Editors selected this year's class of Top 100 3PLs from hundreds of candidates. The service providers selected are companies that, in the opinion of the editors, offer the diverse operational capabilities and experience to meet readers' unique supply chain and logistics needs, as well as enabling them scalability.
“We are happy to recognize Crowley as a Top 100 3PL for the fourth year in a row,” said Felecia Stratton, editor, Inbound Logistics. "Their consistent commitment to enhancing the customer’s supply chain options while providing a complete menu of scalable services has once again been recognized by our transportation buyers and readers. In an economy where we see many companies reigning in the services they provide, Crowley’s continued expansion throughout their service areas makes for a reliable long-term partnership to logistics customers.”
"We believe that our consecutive recognition as a Top 100 3PL provider by a panel of our peers is a direct reflection of our dedicated and knowledgeable people, our reputable suite of services and our continuing expansion into new markets," said Crowley's Steve Collar, senior vice president and general manager of logistics. "Since 1998, we have dedicated ourselves to providing best-in-class supply chain solutions and recognition like this validates that we are on course."
Distilling the Top 100 is never an easy task, and the process becomes increasingly difficult as more 3PLs enter the market and service providers from other functional areas develop value-added logistics capabilities. Inbound Logistics magazine editors select the best logistics solutions providers by carefully evaluating submitted information, conducting personal interviews and online research, and comparing that data to readers' burgeoning global supply chain and logistics challenges.
