Thank you for taking the time to review the capabilities of Saddle Creek CorporationWe call this presentation The Integrated Advantage for a few different reasons.The vast majority of our customers utilize more than one of our services and the integration of these services is key to delivering real cost savingsWe believe that Saddle Creek offers the ability to integrate our individual services while still remaining flexible in the design of our solutionsWith over 40 years of experience in this industry, high level executive involvement and a family owned, customer focused culture, we feel that Saddle Creek is well positioned to provide a level of service integration that is unique in our industry.
Warehousing is where our company started and it accounts for about two thirds of our revenueWe are finding that more and more of our customers, especially CPG companies are using us to take inventory and make it store-readyTransportation, especially the non-asset based or brokerage segment, is the fastest growing portion of our business
In 1966 Saddle Creek consisted of 12,000 square feet and two associates and has grown from a small Southeastern based warehouse concern to a multi million dollar national integrated logistics service provider.We have experienced 18 straight years of consecutive growth (including last year) and we continue to focus on growing our company with both existing and new customers in existing and new markets.Through all the success and growth we have remained a family owned, union free company with a consistent and unfailing culture that puts the customer first while valuing the contributions of our associates.
Organic growth with existing customers as been a major factor in our successA few of our customers with multi-locations includes the following:Anheuser-Busch – 5 Arizona Iced Tea - 2Del Monte – 2Ebro – 2Quaker – 3Standard Register – 3 Sam’s Club - 3
We are honored to call some of the world’s largest companies our customers.Over the years we have grown from a solid foundation in large food and beverage manufacturers to work with companies of all sizes in many different industries.
