The organization has achieved outstanding growth, to move forward and bring additional solutions to its clients complex supply chain issues, the organization is now focusing on synergies across its vertical structure. Nancy Matthews has recently been appointed Vice President Aerospace and Life Sciences, ‘With our vertical structure, we have the ability to focus on the individual requirements of our clients and provide bespoke solutions using our industry expertise. We have a number of verticals within the organization, including but not limited to Energy, Automotive, Aerospace, Retail, Government, Life Sciences and Global Specialized services.’ Matthews noted.

In the aerospace vertical, Crane Worldwide Logistics has designed and implemented complex solutions across diverse areas, including MRO & AOG, commercial and military aircraft manufacturing supply chain solutions, as well as space flight and catering.

Our support and expertise in time critical shipments proved extremely valuable in providing humanitarian relief shipments of temperature controlled pharmaceutical products as well as to supply support of emergency aircraft components and equipment for evacuation for example.  I feel that even though we are addressing two very different industry sectors, what is critical here is the team’s diverse logistics experience and how it is applied to produce an innovative solution resolving our client’s challenges’.  ‘We are very fortunate to have Nancy Matthews driving the aerospace and life sciences verticals at Crane Worldwide Logistics.
