BRENTWOOD, Tennessee - Ozburn-Hessey Logistics (OH Logistics) recently signed a national contract recognizing the Traylor Group as the company’s recommended
provider of recycling equipment and services. The Traylor Group has been instrumental in helping OH Logistics increase sustainability initiatives throughout its North American distribution centers for the past two years.
“The contract reinforces our shared commitment to effective recycling programs,”commented
Larry Blythe, Regional Developer for the Traylor Group. “OH Logistics is dedicated to improving
the recycling programs at their facilities, and we will work with each site to maximize the recycling
potential.”
The national contract states that the Traylor Group will provide balers and pick-ups for recycling
corrugated materials and stretch film for qualified OH Logistics distribution centers. The Traylor
Group supplies high-density, Max-Pak balers built to exacting specifications to safely process
paper waste.
After a successful year of implementing programs in 2007, OH Logistics anticipates adding 10-12 more sites to the national recycling program this year. Blythe commented on the projected recycling amounts for a site recently added under the national contract. “Each month, we expect to recycle between 25 and 30 tons of corrugated materials alone in the newest Memphis, TN
location.”
Approximately one-third of all new business inquiries received by OH Logistics request
information about sustainability initiatives. OH Logistics executives believe the Traylor Group
relationship and new national contract represent tangible sustainability efforts, and will convert
prospects to customers as they seek environmentally responsible logistics partners.
“We look forward to continuing and growing our relationship with the Traylor Group,” stated Bob
Spieth, OH Logistics’ President of Contract Logistics. “Their services and products have enabled
our facilities to dramatically reduce landfill waste while streamlining our recycling efforts—an
important component of our sustainability strategy as a 3PL.”
