Oil Patch Bits: Lynden chosen a Top 100 3PL provider for 2011

The Lynden family of companies said Aug. 9 that it was chosen as one of the Top 100 third-party logistics service providers by editors of Inbound Logistics magazine. Editors selected the companies from hundreds of contenders, choosing only those that offer the diverse operational capabilities and experience to meet readers’ unique supply chain and logistics needs.

Inbound Logistics’ Top 100 3PL Providers list serves as a qualitative assessment of service providers. Each year, editors solicit questionnaires from more than 400 3PLs, detailing the services they provide and their areas of expertise. The magazine also polls more than 5,000 3PL users with a similar series of questions to provide a counter-perspective of the forces shaping the industry

“Whatever the company size — from Fortune 500 to small businesses — world-class logistics performance is crucial. It is impressive to see Lynden providing the kinds of solutions that companies large and small rely on to solve the tactical logistics issues of serving customers better, faster and more efficiently,” said Felicia Stratton, editor of Inbound Logistics magazine.

The Lynden family of companies’ combined capabilities include: truckload and less-than-truckload freight to Alaska, scheduled and charter barges, rail barges, intermodal bulk chemical hauls, scheduled and chartered air freighters, domestic and international shipping via air and ocean forwarding, customs brokerage, trade show shipping, remote site construction, sanitary bulk commodities hauling and multi-modal logistics.
