The World Trade Center of Greater Philadelphia (WTCGP) will hold its 16th Annual “World Trade Centers Day” Awards and Celebration on Thursday, May 3, 2018 at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, 118 North Broad Street, Philadelphia PA. Following the tragic events of September 11, 2001, the United Nations, in cooperation with the World Trade Centers Association (WTCA) chartered a day to be recognized around the world as “World Trade Centers Day.” Every World Trade Center creates its own signature event with the common goal of celebrating peace and prosperity through global trade. The WTCGP organizes an Awards Ceremony and Celebration to recognize the global business achievement of outstanding individuals and companies whose contributions have helped to make Greater Philadelphia a world-class region. This year, WTCGP has selected Leo, Tom and Michael Holt, owners of Holt Logistics Corp., to receive our Global Business Leadership Award. Patriarch Leo Holt began with one truck in 1926. Today, the Holt family are leaders in the growth and development of South Jersey and Philadelphia ports, providing solutions in globally dynamic segments of the transportation industry, including truck and rail transportation, marine terminal services, and warehousing. From the Gloucester Marine Terminal and Packer Avenue Terminal, to the Paulsboro Marine Terminal, Riverside Renewable Energy, Delaware Avenue Enterprises, Pier 5 Camden, Heller at Bellmawr, and Suffolk Avenue Associates, Holt facilities are driving economic growth and job creation along both sides of the Delaware. The Packer Avenue Marine Terminal is considered the largest container terminal on the Delaware River and the Gloucester Marine Terminal has the largest on-dock reefer warehouse in the United States. With significant investment by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the purchase of the second set of super post-Panamax container cranes and the 103-mile deepening of the Delaware River navigation channel to 45 feet from 40 feet, bigger ships are coming to Philadelphia through the expanded Panama Canal. The Holt family is well-positioned to support increased trade flowing through our ports, create additional jobs, and advance Greater Philadelphia as a global leader. We are also pleased to announce our 2018 Member Companies of the Year – Video Ray for Pennsylvania, and TD Bank for New Jersey.
