ChemLogix Brings Quaker Chemical Company, Inc. onto the Nistevo Transportation Network; Nistevo Network to Provide Platform for Bulk Truck Management and Visibility

Business Wire, July 5, 2005

BLUE BELL, Pa. -- ChemLogix, the leading logistics services provider in the chemical industry, today announced the successful integration of Quaker Chemical's bulk freight activity onto the Nistevo Network. Nistevo's Web-hosted Network will enable ChemLogix to streamline the planning and execution of Quaker's daily transportation activities, while providing Quaker's sales and service representatives online visibility into these activities.

Using the Nistevo Network, ChemLogix is able to optimally plan Quaker's bulk shipments with the most cost and service effective mix of carriers. Through the use of the Network's contract management capabilities, ChemLogix will simplify the process of maintaining and updating carrier contracts and rates, and will help to ensure that Quaker is billed accurately for all line haul and accessorial charges.

By providing the customer service reps at Quaker online access to the Network, the reps are able to research the status of shipments, as well as receive email alerts notifying them of shipments that are at risk of late delivery.

"Quaker relies on ChemLogix to handle the load management process for them, but they cannot afford to feel like they are the last to know in the event of a load leaving the plant late. Nistevo helps us keep Quaker close to the action," said Mike Skinner, vice president of freight systems for ChemLogix. "When the carriers update the system with the status of a shipment, that information is shared immediately with Quaker's reps."

"Through our existing relationship with ChemLogix, we are pleased to welcome Quaker Chemical to the Nistevo Network," said Kevin Lynch, president and chief executive officer of Nistevo. "We look forward to them deriving tangible benefits through the use of the Network's TMS capabilities."
