The last year has not been kind to the global transportation business. Demand has skidded with the global economy. Yet one year after launch, Crane Worldwide is a growing new player in the industry. The Houston-based company, which provides a variety of shipping and logistical services, is on track to meet its original milestone of achieving $1b in revenue and 4,000 employees at the company’s five to seven year mark. In the year since its founding, Crane Worldwide has established 47 offices in 17 countries, grown to 500 employees and created a client base of dozens of leading global corporations in industries from aerospace to energy.
