Feet on the Street: Global Strength, Local Voice.

By Aimee Scott, Member Relations Specialist

I love the C.H. Robinson tagline; it sounds inspiring to me!  It kind of paints a picture representative of what a Chamber can be for its members. 

I’m sure you’ve heard of C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. – a brokerage serving to assist companies increase their logistical efficiencies.  They boast awards such as Gold Standard Quest for quality and America’s Most Admired Companies.  At the most recent Meet Me @ 5 event, I had the good pleasure of being approached by Elliot Birch, Branch Manager, and Chad Eckland, Sales Rep for the Fort Wayne office.  I really enjoyed our casual conversation and the brief introduction he gave on the topic of world-wide logistics, so I invited myself to his office for a closer look. 

There is so much to share about what this company does and I wish I could explain just how state-of-the-art their technology is, but I’m sure Elliot would be willing to give you the details if you were to ask!  In a nutshell, they take the guesswork and excess spending out of logistics for you.  Their services are customized to your objectives.  If you are a business that has a product to transport, this third party broker gives you the tools to assure you’ve selected the best carrier. If you are carrier, C.H. Robinson serves you by connecting you to product for maximum load efficiency.  Trust me, it is a lot more technical than that … but that’s their job, to make it easier on you and me!

This company has a superior reputation and a stong local team accessible to you.   Top industries served are food & beverage, manufacturing, and retail … so if this is you – be sure to take the time to view their website: www.chrobinson.com.  The Chamber wants you to optimize your potential – thank you for letting us be your voice and help you connect to other members who can make you stronger.
