J. 07103 201 485-2600 Fruehauf Forms New Division To Provide Systems Approach To Physical Distribution Fruehauf Corporation, Detroit, Mich., has formed a new division to apply the systems approach to the problem of physical distribu-tion of goods. The new operation, called In-tegrated Systems and Products Division, pro-vides tailor-made programs?including system study, engineering, equipment production, life cycle support, financing, and rental services-designed to speed up transportation of goods from factory to user and reduce distribution costs. David Bernstein, executive vice-president, who made the announcement, said Alexander Black is vice-president and general manager of the new division which has its headquarters in Fullerton, Calif. Mr. Black, who has been with Fruehauf since 1959, was formerly vice-president and general manager of the Military Products Division, which he continues to head as part of the new division. Mr. Bernstein said, "The object of the divi-sion is to provide engineering and equipment for integrated transportation of goods from origin to destination at the lowest possible costs, in the most effective manner. We are in a position to provide a complete system or a 'step' plan to accomplish the objective." Examples of the kind of systems approaches the new division has or is working on are: the transportation of perishable foodstuffs from the point of origin to the retailer; air-cargo handling from the shipper to the consumer; rail land-bridge projects coast to coast; inland waterway systems between ports; automated container handling and storage, and terminal handling of ship containers. The market for the new division's services and equipment includes any operation where rapid and efficient cargo or goods handling is required, with selectivity in cargo flow, and where reduction in current handling costs is the goal of management, whether commercial, military, or governmental. Fruehauf produces truck-trailers, containers, material handling systems, railcars, container-handling cranes, and containerships. The com-pany's operations also include a rental and leasing division; and a Research and Develop-ment Division. All of these support the In-tegrated Systems Division.
