"Since our first publication in 1994, our guides have become a primary information source for third-party logistics market information," said Richard Armstrong, chairman of Armstrong & Associates. "We are pleased with the quality of our global information expansion. 84 of the 3PL profiles highlight international providers. In our last edition, we added assessments of 3PLs overall capabilities, strengths and weaknesses to each profile. In this edition, we took it one step further by adding the designation Tier 1 Global Supply Chain Manager for over twenty major 3PLs. These providers all have extensive IT capabilities, over 5,000 employees and provide service to 90% or more of the world's Gross Domestic Product (GDP)."

The two volumes contain over 1,000 pages. They are available as PDF files or as an on-line subscription. On-line subscribers receive the PDF files as part of their purchases.
