Armstrong & Associates’ Evaluation:

Menlo has been one of the leading U.S.-based 3PLs. Menlo was recently selected as prime contractor for the U.S. Transportation Command’s Defense Transportation Coordination Initiative. The contract is a major win for Menlo over strong competitors and is potentially worth $1.6 billion. Menlo’s two Asian acquisitions position it as a major 3PL in China and Southeast Asia. Menlo has solid inbound supply chain management and finished goods distribution. Menlo’s LMS provides good technology and SCM solutions. Menlo now has more than 60% of its operation in multi-client facilities. This arrangement allows for improve labor efficiency. Parent Con-way has strong, profitable, less-than-truckload and truckload operations.
