Panther Premium Logistics Moves Into New Headquarters

MEDINA, Ohio, December 30, 2014 — Panther Premium Logistics℠, an ArcBest company [Nasdaq: ARCB], has completed its relocation to a new headquarters and dispatch center near Akron, Ohio.

The new facility sits on about 7 acres and includes 50,000 square feet of office space and a 9,000-square-foot service bay for applying decals and GPS units to trucks. Initial employment at the facility is expected to top 330 employees, and the company anticipates adding at least 32 jobs over the next four years.

“We’ve had tremendous growth since our founding in 1992,” Panther Chief Executive Officer R. Louis Schneeberger said. “We’ve been in Medina County more than two decades, and staying in Medina County was an important consideration for us as we selected this new location.”

Panther previously operated out of two neighboring buildings in Seville, Ohio. Company officials broke ground on the new facility in May 2014.

“This new site will allow us to continue to grow our Medina County headquarters under a single roof,” Schneeberger said.

ArcBest purchased Panther, formerly known as Panther Expedited Services, in June 2012.
