Logistics Plus marks 30 years of global supply chain operations
The Erie-based logistics provider marks three decades of growth spanning freight forwarding, warehousing, and technology-driven supply chain services.
Logistics Plus is celebrating three decades in the supply chain industry, marking a milestone for the Erie, Pennsylvania-based company that has expanded into a global logistics provider since its founding in 1996.
From Regional Freight Forwarder to Global Operator
Over the past 30 years, Logistics Plus has grown from a single-office freight forwarder into a multinational operation offering transportation, warehousing, customs brokerage, and managed logistics services. The company now serves customers across multiple continents, supported by a network of offices, warehouses, and partner agents.
Its service portfolio spans global freight forwarding, supply chain technology, and specialised solutions for sectors including automotive, manufacturing, energy, and government. That diversification has helped the company weather economic cycles and shifting trade patterns.
Investment in Technology and Infrastructure
Logistics Plus has increasingly tied its growth to digital tools that give clients visibility into shipments, costs, and inventory. Recent initiatives have included expanded tracking platforms, data analytics offerings, and technology leadership appointments aimed at scaling proprietary systems.
The company has also broadened its physical footprint, investing in warehousing capacity to support third-party logistics clients. Industry-wide, providers are scaling multi-tenant and dedicated facilities to meet demand from shippers looking for flexible storage, as seen in moves such as the expansion of multi-tenant warehousing platforms by other 3PL operators. Major hubs are also seeing large new builds, including a 15,250 sqm multi-client 3PL warehouse opened at a Riyadh logistics hub.
Looking Ahead
As Logistics Plus enters its fourth decade, leadership has signalled continued investment in technology talent and supply chain digitisation. The company is among several mid-sized 3PLs making strategic hires to modernise operations, following patterns such as recent chief technology officer appointments at competing logistics groups.
Officials say the 30-year anniversary reflects steady, customer-driven growth rather than a single expansion moment, with plans to deepen presence in existing markets while exploring new regions.
