Choice Logistics > News > Record Results in 2012
NEW YORK – Choice Logistics, Inc., the leading provider of critical service parts logistics, announced today that 2012 was a record-setting year for the company. A double-digit growth rate in revenues was achieved while profit margins grew at twice the pace. New clients in well-performing industry verticals and enhanced offerings in global services contributed to the positive results.
"We set aggressive targets for 2012 because of the strong momentum we had entering the year, and we achieved our goals," said Michael Katz, Chief Executive Officer of Choice Logistics. "I'm particularly pleased that we were able to grow with both new and existing clients and significantly improve our profit margins by focusing on cost of sales, not raising prices."
Choice Logistics added seventeen new clients in 2012, growing its client base by more than a third in the last two years. With ninety percent of its newest clients having international requirements, the company recognized that most overnight shipments are now as critical as same-day deliveries. It introduced Choice Transportation Management Services (CTMS), which features a sophisticated rating engine that selects the best carrier by customer and lane segment, along with minute-by-minute event management to ensure that critical service parts get into the hands of field service engineers as scheduled, anywhere in the world.
Choice Logistics recruited exceptional talent into the company in 2012. Bob Andrews, Vice President of Global Field Operations, and Tracey Leonard, Vice President of Global Trade Solutions, both have extensive, hands-on international experience and joined Choice Logistics to accelerate the development of tactical and strategic solutions for an expanding client base.
"Although many of our clients have departments dedicated to international trade for finished goods, that expertise is often not transferred to their service organizations dealing with importing and exporting spare parts for repair and maintenance," said John LaHaye, Senior Vice President, Business Development for Choice Logistics. "Our Global Trade Solutions team is facilitating communication between departments and bridging the knowledge gap to maximize compliance and profitability."
Highlights of 2012 for the privately held company include:
Choice Logistics provides customized logistics solutions that meet the high-availability requirements of global technology manufacturers and third-party service organizations. Its network of strategic stocking locations, linked by dependable transportation solutions, a unified technology platform, and a performance-driven culture, turns time-critical systems support into premium service offerings that generate profitable revenues, strong reputations, and close customer relationships.
