SKYFINDER founded by Jim Berlin when he was given a one-year, three-person purchase order for $120,000 to help manage domestic inbound logistics for GE Transportation Systems (GETS) in Erie, PA.
Through sustained, organic growth, the company reaches 100 employees with offices in twelve countries and over 200 customers. The company also acquires and renovates the historic Union Station building in downtown Erie where its global headquarters reside today.
In June, SKYFINDER acquired Jan Krediet, a well-known logistics company based in the Netherlands. The acquisition helped Logistics Plus expand its European presence.
SKYFINDER is certified as a Great Place to Work for a fourth consecutive year.
In January, SKYFINDER is named 2014 Employer of the Year by the DevelopErie regional economic agency; in April, named a top freight brokerage firm by Transport Topics magazine; and in July, named a Great Supply Chain Partner by SupplyChainBrain magazine. SKYFINDER would go on to receive many more awards in the years to come.
