“I want to thank Jim Crane for the opportunity to build and lead Crane Worldwide.  It has been an honor to work with so many exceptional people the past 11 years.”  says John Magee. “Keith is also one of our founders, who has played an integral role in launching the company.  With him moving into the CEO position, I am confident our clients will experience no impact to their day to day service needs.”

 

“Crane Worldwide is a best in class global supply chain and logistics organization.” Keith Winters states.  “I am honored to lead our team of over 1,800 employees into the next chapter of our growth and I look forward to working alongside our clients to continue to drive innovation within this industry.”
