January 27, 2011 – JERICHO, NY – Purolator USA has announced the appointment of Anthony Catapano to the newly created position of Manager, Corporate Sales Operations. In his position, Catapano will report to Vice President of Field Sales & Service Quality John Sweeney, and will be located in the company’s Jericho, NY headquarters.

Purolator, a leading provider of U.S.-Canada cross border logistics, has undergone extensive growth in recent years, with the opening of processing facilities and branch offices in key locations across the U.S. Additional expansion is scheduled for 2011 and 2012, as Purolator responds to the growing need for carriers with experience and expertise in providing logistics to the Canadian market.

“Anthony will fill an important roll by ensuring that as we expand, our sales team offers consistent service and follows same ‘best practices’ to ensure positive customer experiences,” Sweeney said. “A Purolator customer will receive the same high standards for guaranteed on-time delivery and customer service regardless of which Purolator office services his account.”

Ensuring consistency across the board is of particular importance, as U.S. businesses increasingly look to Canada as a source of economic growth. The U.S. Department of Commerce reported that trade between the two countries surged by more than 25 percent during 2010, and has largely recovered from the economic recession. In addition, a strong Canadian dollar is expected to fuel a spike in demand among Canadian consumers for U.S. goods.

Catapano brings to his position more than 20 years of experience in sales and global logistics, with previous positions including the Director, International Business Development at DHL Worldwide Express. “Anthony’s experience will be a great asset both to Purolator and to our customers,” Sweeney said. “As businesses continue to look to Purolator as the ‘go to’ provider for service to Canada, our sales organization will offer consistent service options and superior customer service.”
