CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa., Sept. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Continuing its rapid business expansion, PLS Logistics Services ("PLS"), a leading provider of outsourced logistics services, today announced the opening of its new corporate headquarters in Cranberry Township, PA.

The company's relocation to the new facility reflects PLS' continued expansion, and combines two workforces together for the first time. The staff from PLS' former headquarters in Rochester, PA joined the employees from its second facility (also in Cranberry Township), bringing both groups together at the brand new, 41,000 square foot facility. Located at 3120 Unionville Road in Cranberry Township, PA, the newly-built office accommodates the current 205 employees and also provides adequate room for expansion.

"Our new headquarters is a direct response to the evolving demands of PLS' growing business and our continually-expanding team," said John Gallardo, the company's President and CEO. "As we looked at our future needs, we recognized the importance of bringing our two offices together under one roof. We're now poised to better service our customers with the wide array of solutions that PLS delivers." Greg Burns, PLS' Chairman, added "We're very pleased to have our staff together, and expect that cross-functional communication, operational efficiency and teamwork will be greatly improved."
