Letter from the CEO

In today’s economy it is not a “business as usual” approach that will be successful.  We need to be aggressive, creative, and open to new endeavors.  This culture must live throughout the organization, at every level and in every facility.  In doing so, our customers find it easy to do business within this environment.

At Gilbert we see opportunities…we see opportunities to help our partners streamline their supply chain…we see opportunities to reduce the time to shelf while at the same time reducing costs.  We are seeing more and more companies looking for variable cost distribution programs as opposed to the more traditional fixed cost models.  High quality 3rd Party logistics providers, such as Gilbert, allow companies to flex distribution costs up and down as their business dictates, and allows them to focus on the core of their perspective business…they do what makes them successful and we support that success by using our supply chain knowledge and experience as cost effectively as possible.

Gilbert’s internal drive to add value to our partners through innovation has never been more important than in difficult times as we are currently experiencing.  Utilizing best practices while always looking for ways to streamline operations and reducing costs for our customers, is our goal and will continue to be in 2018 and beyond.   We are able to do this, first and foremost, because of the dedication of our people… as the great Vince Lombardi once said, “Some guys play with their heads. That’s O.K. You’ve got to be smart to be number one in any business. But more importantly, you’ve got to play with your heart, with every fiber of your body. If you’re lucky enough to find a person with a lot of head and a lot of heart, he’s never going to come off the field second.”

At The Gilbert Company, our people always put your business first.  It is the Gilbert Way!

Sincerely,
Gregg Prisco
President & CEO
