CaseStack Inc., a Los Angeles-based business process outsourcing company, has announced the appointment of Gary Murphy as vice president of Logistics Solutions.
Murphy joins CaseStack from Consolidated Freightways where he was formerly vice president of national sales.
In addition, many of Consolidated Freightways' sales managers will be joining CaseStack, according to Dan Sanker, president and CEO of CaseStack.
"It is always disruptive when an industry icon falls, but we are excited to create the silver lining," Sanker said. "CaseStack is welcoming CF's most talented individuals to help us change the industry."
"There are still far too many companies force-feeding inappropriate transportation, warehousing and software services to clients," he said. "The future is about providing client-based logistics solutions that include those services."
"Consolidated's bankruptcy should be a significant earnings catalyst for the other LTL carriers," said Mark Levin, transport analyst, Davenport & Co., Richmond, Virginia.
"CaseStack is lucky to be in a position to attract the best that the industry has to offer. We have grown five-fold since last year, and with Gary and his team, CaseStack anticipates continued growth at an even faster rate," said Sanker.
