Saddle Creek Corp. Acquires ProLog Logistics
Lakeland, Fla., Dec. 16, 2010 - Saddle Creek Corp., a nationwide third-party provider of integrated logistics, warehousing, transportation, and contract packaging services, announced today that it has acquired ProLog Logistics Inc. ProLog is a warehousing and fulfillment company headquartered in San Diego, Calif. The acquisition reflects Saddle Creek's strategic plans for growth and commitment to expanding the company's integrated logistics service offerings to better serve its customers.
"This acquisition will allow us to deepen our fulfillment capabilities, providing a broader range of services and greater value to our customers," said David Lyons, Saddle Creek's founder and chairman. "We continue to evolve and enhance our abilities to serve our customers, and we're confident that ProLog's expertise will strengthen our service offerings in this growing market segment."
In business since 1996, Prolog offers order fulfillment, warehousing, ecommerce, call center and customer care services from locations in San Diego and Lexington, Ky. The ProLog management team and current employees will remain in place and continue to operate as ProLog Logistics, a wholly owned subsidiary of Saddle Creek Corp.
"Retaining this effective team will provide continuity for existing customers and allow us to leverage their expertise throughout our operations," said Cliff Otto, president of Saddle Creek. "ProLog's service offerings and flat organizational structure are a natural complement to those of Saddle Creek. Even more importantly, their customer-driven corporate culture is closely aligned with our company-wide commitment to service excellence."
This is Saddle Creek's second acquisition in just over a year, following the acquisition last November of ServiceCraft Logistics, a third-party logistics company based in Buena Park, Calif. "This deal reflects our continued commitment to strategic growth," said Otto. "We'll continually work to ensure that we offer the right mix of integrated logistics solutions to optimize supply chain performance for our customers."
