West Chester-based A. Duie Pyle is celebrating its 90th year in business this April.

The transportation and logistics company, which handles shipments to the Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Canada and the Caribbean, has a local warehouse in Parkesburg and warehouses and service centers in West Chester.

The family-owned business was launched by Alexander Duie Pyle in 1924 and is in its fourth generation of family ownership.

“When our grandparents started A. Duie Pyle back in 1924 with one truck, they never could have imagined where the company would go,” said Peter Latta, chairman and chief executive officer. “Without the hard work of our dedicated team, none of this would be possible. We are constantly encouraged and humbled by the values and optimism of all Pyle People.”

A Duie Pyle has worked on creating a culture of trust enabling the company to nurture and retain top talent. The firm decertified the Teamsters Union in 1979.

“I started at A. Duie Pyle more than 40 years ago,” said Tim Kershaw, pick-up and delivery driver. “In my time here the Pyle culture and humility of all Pyle People has remained constant and is respected not just within the company, but around the industry. It’s not often that you come across a company where leadership and even owners can be found working hand in hand with the team.”

A. Duie Pyle is a trusted leader in the motor carrier industry, servicing established companies in the Northeast, Midwest, Southeast, Canada and the Caribbean.

The Parkesburg warehouse recently received the Scotts Miracle Gro 2013 service provider of the year award for outstanding service. The company likes to tell its customers, “We’ve got you covered.”

The company has 19 service centers and eight warehouses, with more than 2 million square feet of warehouse space.
