Total Logistics Unit Awarded Multi-Year Contract by Johnson
Controls, Inc. MILWAUKEE, Nov. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Total
Logistics, Inc. (NASDAQ:TLCX) announced today the award of a
multi-year contract to provide transportation services to Johnson
Controls, Inc. in the Southeastern region of the U.S. Logistic
services will be provided by ITLX, a certified Minority Business
Enterprise (MBE) in which the Company holds a substantial minority
ownership interest. The agreement between ITLX and Johnson
Controls, Inc. Automotive Systems Group calls for ITLX to deliver
automotive batteries from a Johnson Controls manufacturing facility
to customer locations throughout the Southeast. ITLX will utilize
an initial fleet of 25-30 tractors for this project and will
deliver to both retail locations and distribution centers. The
Company will also provide reverse logistics services, retrieving
used products and delivering them to recycling centers. The fleet
will operate between the North Carolina plant and local retailers,
including Wal-Mart and Sears. Described as a "high touch" service,
the direct store deliveries will include moving product directly
into the retail store locations, lowering the burden on store
personnel to handle these heavy products. William T. Donovan,
President & CEO, commented, "We are pleased with the
development of ITLX's business and view this award as a major
opportunity for the Company. We invested in ITLX because of the
strength of its owner manager and the view we were backing a
winner. ITLX provides us with a unique business opportunity to
bring a certified MBE service capability to the markets we serve.
We have full confidence in ITLX and its ability to provide high
value, dependable service to Johnson Controls and look forward to
the further development of this important relationship." "This
agreement enables us to continue to service our aftermarket battery
customers competitively while giving us flexibility, with options
for logistics growth," says Rodger Hall, Vice President Global
Procurement, Johnson Controls Battery Division. "We believe in the
ITLX management team and also know that TLC will provide support if
