We are pleased to announce the Maersk acquisition of Performance Team is now officially closed as we usher in a new chapter of Warehousing & Distribution service with regional scale to make your business run smoother with faster response times to supply chain changes.
Today’s market conditions and consumer buying patterns change on a daily basis, creating difficulty for supply chain managers to forecast demands. Now, more than ever, a strong Warehousing & Distribution strategy is essential to supply chain performance as the most robust option and pivot point to respond.
We’re excited to now offer you a stronger, more comprehensive portfolio of W&D products and scope to support your business:
- Omnichannel: We now offer you the growth opportunity to use Performance Team’s omnichannel fulfillment services to create a hold and flow model - or customize a solution for your specific distribution needs.
- Trucking: Our combined inland transport capabilities total nearly 600 trucks. (Performance Team 340 trucks/HUDD Transportation 250 trucks) More tractor power and smoother deliveries with less handoffs means better use of your management time.
- Scale and locations: We now offer you 46 warehouses in North America with ideal locations – many are near ports - and warehouse capacities that fit the market needs.
- Catalyst for your growth: We researched the Warehousing & Distribution sector and Performance Team was the clear winner based on customer feedback, leadership excellence and fit with Maersk Warehousing & Distribution’s scope of service and locations. Our goal is to grow this sector responsibly.
- Business as usual approach: As we announce the closing today of Maersk’s acquisition of Performance Team – we want to emphasize it is business as usual for customers of Performance Team and Maersk. Your service and point of contact will remain the same – and you will enjoy the same customer experience and delivery of our solutions to you. In addition, all agreed to service levels, terms & conditions, and contracts will remain valid. Our focus is ensuring smooth operations for our customers.
