St. George Logistics and AZ Corporation Merger Creates Major Synergies

Chris Jamroz is a longtime logistics executive who serves as CEO of STG Holdings, LLC, in New Jersey. Having been acquired by the venture equity firm Wind Point Partners, Chris Jamroz’s company guides St. George Logistics and acquired AZ Corporation, a leading New Jersey-based container freight station (CFS) solutions provider. 

With STG long known as North America’s leading import-oriented CFS provider and AZ occupying the same position on the export side, the merged entity is one that encompasses 4 million square feet of space across two dozen inland and port facilities. Its extended network includes 80 US partner facilities, with approximately 1,100 logistics workers providing highly integrated services such as value-added warehousing.

Royal Ontario Museum’s Blue Whale Goes On Tour

Chris Jamroz engages with STG Holdings, LLC, as CEO and oversees a wide range of container freight station logistics services that range from contract warehousing to e-commerce fulfillment. Maintaining a strong philanthropic presence, Chris Jamroz actively supports organizations such as Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Miami and New York City. He also serves on the board of trustees of the Royal Ontario Museum.

The latter institution is known for its exhibit of a blue whale that washed ashore in Newfoundland in 2014. At the time, the specimen was bloated with gas and potentially going to explode. Weighing 90 tons and with a skeleton extending 25 meters, the gargantuan whale required three years to prepare to become an educational exhibit within the museum.

On exhibit in Ontario since March 2017, the whale was recently packed in crates and sent on a tour of four venues across Canada, with a further international tour possible. Packing the whale into shipping crates took approximately a week. A particular challenge involved wrapping the plastinated heart, which is described as having the girth of a small automobile.
