Schenker of Canada to Launch New Courier Services Division
Schenker of Canada Limited today announced the coming launch of its new Courier Division with Kathy Kropf at the helm as Director. The Courier Division will officially launch later in Q4 of this year.
Ms. Kropf brings many years of logistics and transportation expertise to her new role. Most recently, she was Managing Director, Canadian World Wide Sales at FedEx Canada. As Director of Schenker’s new Courier Division, Ms. Kropf will plan and oversee the completion of the company’s offering in this critical part of the market.
Schenker’s Courier Division compliments the company’s growing suite of solutions for its customers. Combined with its strong credentials and partnership with Canada’s leading courier companies, which facilitate end-delivery, Schenker will provide a complete door to door transportation and logistics service. With the recent integration of BAX Global now complete, Schenker provides solutions for skid and package shipments. In fact, Schenker is the only company offering trans-border, domestic and international service with both heavy weight and courier integrated services.

Working with many Fortune 500 customers, Ms. Kropf was directly responsible for the strategic planning, execution and performance of the Canadian World Wide division.
