PLG Consulting advises shippers, transportation providers, and private equity investors on the toughest problems in industrial logistics. We work in chemicals, oil and gas, renewables, mining and metals, manufacturing, and forest products. Our consultants are senior operators who ran these supply chains before they advised on them.
Every engagement is scoped to your commodities, your lanes, and your assets. A tank car fleet problem and a bulk terminal problem are not the same problem, and we do not staff them the same way. You get a team built for your industry, not a template.
Since 2001, PLG has served more than 200 clients, including Fortune Global 500 shippers, Class I rail negotiations, and private equity portfolios across North America. Our work has helped negotiate hundreds of millions of dollars in transportation contracts.
