Polish Chamber of Commerce Established to Promote Economic Ties

A logistics executive born in Poland, Chris Jamroz serves as the executive chairman of St. George Logistics (STG Logistics), where he oversees the company’s provision of specialty third-party logistics and transportation services. Recently, Chris Jamroz was appointed chairman of the newly established Polish Chamber of Commerce in the United States.

The Polish Chamber of Commerce promotes business and economic ties between Poland and the US by acting as the facilitator for a number of international functions. The Chamber will facilitate trade and investments between American companies and Poland’s public and private sectors. In addition, it will serve as a partner to US enterprises seeking to launch or expand into Polish markets.

The Chamber will also promote Poland’s economic success and endorse the country as a compelling destination for American businesses looking to expand into Europe. Entrepreneurial and private sectors drive 80 percent of Poland’s economic growth, providing the country with mass appeal for international businesses. Possessing the largest economy in Central and Eastern Europe, Poland has favorable demographic trends and an educated, Western-oriented population.

Poland and the US already share a robust trade relationship, with total trade between the countries doubling since 2010. The Polish Chamber of Commerce will continue fostering this relationship and allow US businesses to capitalize on Poland’s growing market for American goods.

STG Logistics Acquires Freight Force to Expand Services

Under the direction of executive chairman Chris Jamroz, St. George Logistics (STG Logistics) operates as one of the global supply chain industry’s leading providers of specialty 3PL and transportation services in North America. Chris Jamroz recently announced the company’s acquisition of the California-based Freight Force and its expansion into the first and final mile delivery services sector. 

Freight Force serves freight forwarders and third party logistics providers as the operator of the largest network of independent carriers in the country. The company’s services focus on first and last mile transportation services for international freights, which involves arranging for original pickup or final delivery. In addition, the company offers an abundance of reliable resources for quality and specialized capacity for carriers nationwide. Founded in 1982, Freight Force also partners with regional and local motor carriers across 52 metro areas. 

The first and final mile segments represent one of the highest growth and most challenging aspects of the global supply chain industry. STG Logistics’ acquisition of Freight Force enables the company to expand its services into this area and begin immediately implementing first and final mile solutions to a diverse customer base. Members of Freight Force’s management team will join STG as shareholders and senior members of the operations management team. 

STG Logistics investor Wind Point Partners also applauded the acquisition, and managing director Konrad Salaber considered the move consistent with his company’s original investment thesis.
