For the fifth straight year, Crowley Maritime Corp.’s logistics group has been recognized as one of the best-equipped industry providers, after being named among the top 100 third-party logistics (3PL) providers in 2013 by a trade magazine.
The editors of Inbound Logistics say they selected Crowley, along with the other honorees, from hundreds of candidates, based on ability to offer diverse operational capabilities, scalability and experience to meet unique supply chain and logistics needs.
Among the other West Coast-based companies that made this year’s list were Crowley Logistics of Seattle, Honolulu’s Matson Logistics, Northern California-based Menlo Worldwide Logistics and the Los Angeles area company Performance Team.
“This honor is a testament to the diligence and dedication our employees show every day to differentiate our company in the marketplace as a unique logistics and liner shipping provider,” Frank Larkin, Crowley’s senior vice president and logistics general manager, said.
Inbound Logistics says it selects the best logistics solutions providers by carefully evaluating submitted information, conducting personal interviews and online research and comparing the data to readers’ burgeoning global supply chain and logistics challenges.
“How a logistics solutions provider enables scalability for its customers is a key factor in the editors’ Top 100 3PL selection process,” the magazine’s editor, Felecia Stratton, explained. “3PLs must produce direct savings for customers by optimizing the transport network, reducing inventory-to-sales ratios, or advancing the order-to-cash cycle. But it’s just as important for a logistics partner to act as a business change agent, driving their customers’ ability to match demand for their products more closely to supply, aligning enterprise operational performance to the larger economic trend.”

Matson Rebrands Three Logistics Units Under "Matson Logistics" Brand
Ocean carrier Matson Navigation is rebranding its three logistics units – Matson America, Matson Global, and Matson Integrated Logistics – under the new name, Matson Logistics.
According to Matson, combining the suite of services offered by the three entities into one brand will "better define the full range of services the Matson name represents outside of ocean transportation, including domestic and international rail intermodal service, long haul and regional highway brokerage, supply chain services, LTL transportation, specialized hauling, and company-operated warehousing and distribution."
All of the services offered will be marketed using a newly created Matson Logistics logo.
“As a company with over a century of service in the Pacific, the Matson brand is well established in the maritime industry and strongly associated with experience, commitment, innovation, efficiency and superior service,” said Matt Cox, president.
Cox said that as the firm has continued to grow and strengthen the Matson brand, it has become important to differentiate Matson as both a leading ocean carrier and as a logistics provider.
"In the past decade, Matson’s logistics services have become increasingly diversified, encompassing warehousing and distribution and moving beyond North American markets to include China," Cox said.
"To clarify and strengthen our position in the logistics industry, we will now promote our services using one brand name, Matson Logistics.”
As part of the rebranding effort, Matson has changed the legal names of the three entities to better reflect the firm's more unified approach to providing logistics services.
Matson Integrated Logistics, Inc. is now “Matson Logistics, Inc.”; Matson America Transportation Services, LLC is now “Matson Logistics Services, LLC”; and Matson Global Distribution Services, Inc. is now “Matson Logistics Warehousing, Inc.”
According to Matson, the new names are only legal name changes and do not require any updates or revisions to licenses, codes, customer contracts, insurance coverage, legal rights and obligations, or other documentation.
"We believe the rebranding of our logistics services will help further define Matson as a unique and multi-faceted provider in today’s growing supply chain services markets," Cox said.
Matson Logistics is a subsidiary of Matson, itself a wholly owned subsidiary of Honolulu-based Alexander & Baldwin, Inc.
