CT Logistics Celebrates 90th Anniversary

PARMA, Ohio - June 4, 2013 - PRLog -- Cleveland, Ohio  – CT Logistics, one of the largest independent global providers of freight bill audit, payment, logistics management and consulting services,  has reached an impressive milestone of 90 years in business this year.  The company began celebratory festivities on the actual “open for business” anniversary date on May 23, 2013, with a special gathering that was catered for the employees and special dignitaries who came to support the company and deliver proclamations from the local and state government officials on hand.

Headquartered in Parma, Ohio, CT Logistics received congratulatory proclamations from the State of Ohio, Cuyahoga County Council, Parma City Council and the Parma Mayor’s office.  Parma Mayor Tim DeGeeter applauded CT Logistics’ achievement.  “It was such a pleasure to participate in the company’s 90th-anniversary celebration,” he said.  “Any time a company stays in business and is successful for that long, you know it is doing something right. As Parma Mayor, I’m thrilled to have such stable and successful businesses as CT Logistics in our city. I wish nothing but the best to the Miner family and the CT staff moving forward,” he added.

CT Logistics’ President, Allan J. Miner, was moved by the outpouring of support and accolades for the company.  “We are, of course, extremely pleased and excited to have the opportunity to celebrate a milestone of ninety years in business. We’re committed to remain in Parma and support the local and regional Cleveland communities. CT is investing to remain a global business enterprise, and strives for excellence as we present a leadership role in the industry as well,” said Mr. Miner.

Mr. Miner attributes the company’s longevity in part to its commitment to and deliverance of stellar customer service, dedicated employees and cutting-edge technology, especially the company’s proprietary FreitRater™ logistics audit software which celebrates its own anniversary in 2013:  30 years.  According to Mr. Miner, the FreitRater™ technology that is used in-house to audit, process, and pay millions of shipments annually for several hundred clients, is the same FreitRater™ system that it sells in the global marketplace to large industrial shippers and transportation service providers.  

CT Logistics services hundreds of clients on a global basis, including RiteAid®, IBM®, the U.S. Federal Government, Energizer®, as well as other local, regional and national accounts.

With 90 years under its belt, CT Logistics is not resting on its laurels.  The company opened an office in 2009 in Birmingham, England and continues to extend its global reach to all continents.

In addition, the company maintains its leadership position in the industry with more sophisticated cutting-edge technology applications on the horizon – it is rolling out its latest supply chain solutions software product, CTLion™ later this year.  The tool will provide clients with shipment planning functions that will ultimately design, determine and build the most efficient, cost-effective route, service and carrier combination for any global shipment.

“CT is definitely geared up for the next 90 years,” Miner said.
