Weber Distribution, a third party logistics and supply chain management provider based in California, has announced that its company name has been changed to Weber Logistics.

"Our name change to Weber Logistics is long overdue," said Bill Butler, Weber's president and CEO. "We have been providing multiple supply chain offerings to our customers for many years. The name 'Logistics' is far more descriptive of what we do for our customers and it covers a broader range of supply chain services."

A company statement said that over the last decade, Weber has evolved into a nationwide provider of logistics solutions in the United States and currently offers 470,000 square metres of warehousing space.

Weber's expertise includes non-asset based freight management, temperature controlled asset-based LTL and TL services, dedicated and shared warehousing, distribution, cross-docking/pool distribution, transloading, network optimisation modelling and analysis, retail compliance, order fulfilment, material handling, supply chain management, real estate development, and personnel staffing.

"The Weber name is the brand that has been in business and going strong for 86 years. We are simply updating our look with a fresh, bold and innovative new logo and more fitting name," said Mr Butler.

He added that Weber's service offering remains unchanged. "We are continuing to deliver nationwide solutions for our retail-import, food and beverage, CPG, chemical and confectionary customers."
