How company started: Legacy was started in 2000 by Ernie Magalotti. Prior to beginning the company, Ernie spent many years working in the corporate side of the transportation industry. As a result, he recognized gaps in how companies understood event logistics. Event logistics is demanding and requires an unprecedented amount of knowledge to minimize the impacts of variable expenses. Factors such as drayage, material handling, overtime charges and forced freight are unique to event shipping and can quickly impact costs, if not handled correctly.
Ernie opened Legacy Logistics because he wanted to provide a reliable service to exhibitors requiring trade show transportation. Today, almost 20 years later, Legacy still emulates the same entrepreneurial spirit as in 2000. As a result of continued growth and the formation of strategic partnerships, Legacy has expanded service offerings to include show services, warehousing & storage, and white glove services.
At Legacy, we are passionate about providing the best possible services to our clients. We earn our reputation for excellence through the people we hire, the lengths we go to in order to protect our clients’ investments and the strength of our relationships with industry partners.
Key to company’s success: Founder Ernie Magalotti built a strong Legacy Logistics team by focusing on three essential business pillars — people, integrity, and excellence. These values define how the company treats both its customers and its team members:
- Customization — We are always listening. Our clients receive customized shipping and receiving solutions based on their individual project requirements.
- Always Innovating — The company’s commitment to innovation can be seen in its implementation of industry-leading freight tracking and client communication tools, giving customers 24/7 insight into shipping details from door to door. This experience has helped Legacy Logistics respond to changing market conditions in the industry this year, including launching new products and services. One new area of business the company has introduced is touch-free packing, shipping, and storage to support colleges and universities across the country. Another growing service area is White Glove Logistics, providing specialized support to protect companies’ most important assets, from machinery to medical devices.
- Safety — We are committed to protecting our most important asset, the Legacy Logistics team and to supporting our partners, clients and community while meeting health and safety guidelines designed to reduce the spread of COVID-19. As we move forward, a commitment to enhanced communication, as well as ongoing staff and partner training, will play an essential role in ensuring the safety and continued growth of our company and industry.
