St. George Logistics’ Acquisition of Channel Distribution Corp.


Chris Jamroz serves as CEO of St. George Logistics Holdings and executive chairman of its subsidiary, St. George Logistics (STG). Under Chris Jamroz’s stewardship, STG has undertaken a number of acquisitions including the purchase of Channel Distribution Corp. (CDC). 

In December 2017 STG acquired CDC, further solidifying STG’s leading role in providing out-sourced import/export services. CDC is a major source of centralized examination services, general order warehousing, and air and ocean CFS solutions in the Chicago region. Operating from three leading-edge facilities located near O’Hare International Airport, CDC also offers last mile delivery, distribution, value-added warehousing, and other transportation solutions. It has been in operation for over three decades and enjoys a strong customer base. 

Chicago is one of North America’s most important logistics markets. In September 2017, STG made Chicago its regional headquarters and initiated a multimillion-dollar expansion of its existing facilities there. The acquisition more than doubles STG’s footprint in the area.

YPO Global Survey – Disruptive Technologies CEOs Focusing On


Chris Jamroz serves as CEO of STG Logistics Holdings and executive chairman of its subsidiary St. George Logistics, a leading logistics platform that recognizes the importance of technology to its position as an industry pace-setter. Chris Jamroz is a member of the Young Presidents Organization (YPO) Miami Chapter. 

The foremost global leadership group among chief executives, YCO recently released the results of its March 2018 YPO Global Pulse Survey. This survey looked at 10 disruptive technologies that CEOs around the world believe would positively impact their business, and in which they would likely make investments during the coming 12 months. Those topping the list include cloud computing, business intelligence (BI), cybersecurity, and mobile payment applications. These are core business technologies CEOs want to leverage to improve overall business outcomes. 

While emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and cryptocurrency did not score as high in the survey, on a per sector basis they registered higher interest. For instance, virtual technology and augmented reality did not attract much attention from CEOs in terms of impact and investment, but within the sectors of engineering and architecture a majority of leaders expect the fields to impact business and they would most likely invest in them in during the next twelve months. Other technologies such as blockchain, cryptocurrency, and chat technology were not of great interest to CEOs, who found them less likely to impact their businesses and unwarranting of near term investments.
