OL&T Named Among Top 100 3PL Providers

Inbound Logistics Magazine cites consistency and global industry experience as key differentiators

Danbury, Conn. (August 10, 2010) — Inbound Logistics magazine has selected Odyssey Logistics & Technology Corporation (OL&T) as a 2010 Top 100 3PL Provider for the sixth consecutive year.  OL&T is a global logistics and transportation service provider for chemical and process industries.

“Recent economic times have forced companies to deal with product scalability, demand volatility, access to capacity, and matching inventory more tightly to demand.  Inbound Logistics selected OL&T as a  2010 Top 100 3PL Provider because of its successful track record in acting as a business change agent for its customers, while delivering the operational efficiency needed to be globally competitive,” said Felecia Stratton, editor, Inbound Logistics.

“Once again Inbound Logistics has selected Odyssey as  a Top 100 3PL Provider because we consistently help leading enterprises achieve the efficiency and scalability that is critical to their success in today’s global economic climate,” said OL&T President and Chief Executive Officer Bob Shellman.  “We are quite proud to achieve this recognition six years running.”

Stratton added, “Cutting transport costs is always important, but our readers tell us they are required to meet more stringent levels of supply chain performance to keep their customers satisfied.  Given the growing complexity of mastering global supply chain management, the role 3PLs like Odyssey Logistics & Technology play continue to become increasingly important.”
