National Logistics Management named as a

Top 100 Third Party Logistics Provider for 2004

 

Detroit, Mich., August 16, 2004 — National Logistics Management (NLM), a Detroit-based third party logistics provider, was named as one of the Top 100 Third Party Logistics Providers for 2004 by Inbound Logistics. NLM is the only North American logistics company to specialize solely in premium freight shipping for the manufacturing industry and was selected from a pool of more than 400 candidates.

 

Third Party Logistics Providers, or 3PLs, were evaluated on a number of criteria including logistics services and capabilities, technology services and capabilities, markets served, dollar amount of logistics contracts under management, and 2003 revenue.

 

NLM operates within a specific niche of the 3PL landscape. It provides only premium freight services and manages those emergency shipments needed to arrive at manufacturing plants in an extremely tight time frame to protect the plant and keep it from shutting down.

 

“We’re quite honored to receive this recognition from such a prestigious organization,” said Scott Taylor, CEO of NLM. “As a niche provider in the 3PL arena, NLM has developed specific, proprietary Internet-based software and processes to manage premium freight in the current demand-driven logistics environment.”
