EXEL CHANGES NAME

EXEL CHANGES NAME

   Exel Logistics said Wednesday that it will shorten its name to Exel.
   The Columbus, Ohio-based company said it changed the name to reflect a
stronger focus on global supply chain solutions.
   "Our customers now look to Exel for comprehensive supply chain solutions
way beyond the traditional ‘logistics’ areas of warehousing and transportation," said Gerry Murphy, Exel’s chief executive officer.
   Exel said it is integrating its industry-focused units in Europe and the Americas into worldwide businesses to improve service to its customers in the global consumer, retail, home delivery, automotive, electronics and chemical industries.
   Exel’s new corporate identity will be launched March 1 and phased in over the next two years.
