On July 1, 2008, Target Logistic Services officially changes its name to Mainfreight, reflecting the title of its new global parent.
The Carson, California-based freight forwarder and logistics provider was acquired by Mainfreight in November of last year and increasingly is being integrated into the New Zealand company's worldwide logistics operation.
"The name change tells our thousands of customers and friends in the logistics industry that under the Mainfreight name, the same high standards of service will apply," stated Chris Coppersmith, President & CEO. "Whatever mode of transport; air, ocean or surface, we will continue to provide swift, reliable service to our customers' freight."
Target Logistics president and CEO Chris Coppersmith said: Target opened its doors in 1970 with zero revenues and one office. We have since grown into a US$200 million company with facilities in 38 US cities and a network of subsidiaries and agents in 80 nations."
"In our new role as part of the Mainfreight worldwide team, we now can offer a greater variety of services, combined with competitive rates, that will enable us to become an even stronger presence in global logistics," he added.
