DANBURY, Conn., June 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Odyssey Logistics & Technology Corporation (OL&T), a global logistics and transportation service provider for the chemical and process industries, has recently been named a Top 50 Chemical 3PL for 2011 by ICIS Chemical Business magazine.
"3PLs can be a critical part of the chemical supply chain, providing services such as warehousing, shipping, freight forwarding and other aspects of logistics management. As the chemical markets become more global and complex, the role of asset-based and non-asset-based 3PLs (also known as 4PLs) will only rise," said Joseph Chang, Global Editor of ICIS Chemical Business magazine.
"Odyssey Logistics has experienced tremendous growth throughout 2010," said OL&T President and Chief Executive Officer Bob Shellman. "The growth of our global portfolio of services is integral to our customers' success. Moreover, it has helped us meet the challenges that all 3PLs face today and the ever-growing needs of our clients for efficiency and reliability. We are quite proud to have achieved this recognition."
OL&T manages inbound and outbound logistics for its customers, including complete transportation services such as carrier selection and qualification, contract negotiations, claims and non-conformance management and reporting, as well as tendering and freight audit and payment services. The Odyssey Global Logistics Platform(SM) , a patented technology infrastructure, provides a single, integrated transportation management system that allows customers to view transportation activities regardless of mode through a single portal, thereby improving logistics performance and reducing costs.
The ICIS Top 50 Chemical 3PLs is a special annual feature on the world's leading third-party logistics providers (3PLs)
servicing the chemical sector. The Top 50 list includes key industry leaders in North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America and Africa.
