The companies will co-market their services to regional and national clients with dynamic supply chain requirements in multiple industry verticals.  Port Logistics Group brings significant retail, apparel, and general merchandise expertise to the partnership; CLG is a leader in serving clients in energy, automotive, aerospace, industrial, and general commodity industries.
