Choice Logistics Expands Global Network – Clients Follow

Leading Mission Critical Parts 3PL Sees Majority Of Client Base Expand Services Globally In 2004

NEW YORK – November 15, 2004 — 2004 has been a landmark year for Choice Logistics. The company expanded its global presence into one of the world’s leading mission-critical logistics networks while repeatedly exceeding the expectations of its entire client base.

”Choice never ceases to amaze,” said Mary Young, Director, Worldwide Logistics Operations for CNT. “The company is always innovating new ways to better serve our needs, and the company's continuous international expansion has allowed CNT to augment it's offerings and better serve the client base.” “For example, the implementation of Choice’s processes in Germany has allowed CNT to service direct and indirect support channels while reducing overall inventory investments.” “Additional benefits have also been realized through the utilization of Choice’s reverse logistics processes, which has allowed CNT to significantly reduce defective parts repair turn- around in Germany.” ”The bottom is that Choice has truly proven to be a global solution.”

One of the largest independently owned and operated logistics firms in the world, Choice was originally founded in New York City as a courier company in 1964. A key player in the mission-critical service parts logistics market in America since 1994, Choice now has more than 260 locations in 38 countries with more than 160 employees at its headquarters in New York and many satellite offices around the world.

Given the successful history of the business, the recent growth and current reach of the Choice Network, the principals of the company are understandably optimistic and excited about the future. Choice continues to improve its opportunities to best serve the existing client base as well as new customers seeking savvy and global, mission-critical logistics solutions.

“We firmly believe that our increased global presence and domain expertise strengthens our overall network and sets the course to becoming the pre-eminent strategic logistics provider for mission-critical service parts in the world,” said Choice CEO, Michael Katz. “Ultimately though, we want our clients to see our global efforts as part of our ongoing commitment to providing innovative logistics solutions and improve our service offering.” Mr. Katz said this mindset continues Choice’s already keen focus on assisting clients with direct access to international markets.

“Choice Logistics has been a preferred Hitachi Data Systems partner for several years,” said Sam Mikles, Director, of Spares Operations for Hitachi Data Systems. “We started using Choice domestically, and as their network has expanded, so has our service offering to our clients and partners - now we're partnered in Canada, Mexico and Brazil. Whether we have a local overnight delivery or a critical same-day, the service is superior regardless of the country.”
