Allen, Chief Executive Officer of The Allen Group.' 'We have refocused our company's investments to the DFW region because of the significant opportunities that exist here. 'Being a nexus of the global supply chain infrastructure and having the business-friendly environment of the State, the local community and the political support for the DLH, the move to Dallas only makes sense.'
"This move underscores The Allen Group's commitment to creating jobs and fostering business development in South Dallas County, and I am pleased to welcome them to our community," Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson said.' "I appreciate The Allen Group's stewardship of the Dallas Logistics Hub, and I look forward to continuing our positive working relationship.'
'The Dallas Logistics Hub is the cornerstone of our logistics portfolio,' said Ken Howell, Chief Financial Officer of The Allen Group. 'Given the reputation of Dallas as the financial center of the southwest, it was a very logical move for us.'
