“This restructuring is essential for us to compete more effectively in our markets while providing clarity to our customers and business partners that we are a fully integrated logistics organization with a focus on our customers’ supply chains,” said Tom Crowley, company chairman and CEO, in a release. “We add a lot more value when we help customers increase the velocity of their supply chains and reduce their landed costs.”
The move is part of a planned corporate restructuring announced earlier this year to yield four business units: Crowley Fuels, Crowley Solutions, Crowley Shipping and Crowley Logistics.
Crowley Holdings, the holding company of the 126-year-old Crowley Maritime Corp., is a family- and employee-owned company. The corporation generates more than $2 billion in annual revenue and employs approximately 5,300 people, according to its website.
