ServiceCraft Goes Gold in 2008!

BUENA PARK, California (Jun. 9, 2008) – In 2008, ServiceCraft Logistics celebrates its “golden” year of providing national integrated logistics and specialized value added services.

ServiceCraft’s newly appointed President & COO, Peter McLoughlin, said, “We are starting the year with very significant good news and are taking a very aggressive approach to growing ServiceCraft in the year ahead. We are working to develop further business with existing clients as well as targeting contract wins in new sectors to further grow our warehouse business to be more competitive and effective.”

In the first quarter of 2008, ServiceCraft expanded its relationship with a 40 year client, being a Fortune 100 Global Food Manufacturer, and opened up a satellite operation in Tracy, CA.

This 432,308 square foot dedicated facility was miraculously started up from scratch and opened in just 3 days fully functional with ServiceCraft’s WMS and RF capabilities.
