From Illinois to Georgia, Anthony Ebert's hard work and dedication has positively impacted TSG's Packaging Operations since 2014.

The Shippers Group is committed to developing talent and promoting associates from within the company. Anthony started with TSG in September 2014 as Inventory Supervisor at The Shippers Group’s 1,000,000 square foot facility in Bolingbrook, IL. In February 2016, Anthony was promoted to General Manager of Packaging Operations where he successfully managed the oversight of labor and production efficiency. 

Earlier this year, Anthony was presented with the opportunity to relocate within The Shippers Group to the Jonesboro, Georgia facility. Today as General Manager of Packaging Operations in Jonesboro, Anthony is responsible for leading 300 associates who package and ship approximately 8 million cases of product per year, while at the same time managing costs to budget and exceeding service level standards. 

When asked what really stands out in his mind regarding the time he has worked at The Shippers Group Anthony replied, “I believe what sets The Shippers Group apart is that we do not simply have a boss, or a Manager, we truly have mentors. Through the Emerging Leaders Program I have seen personal growth that has directly impacted our successes in Bolingbrook, IL and Jonesboro, GA. It is easy to see why The Shippers Group continues to grow with leaders in place that develop and mentor from within.” 

In Anthony’s free time he enjoys playing multiple competitive sports with his family as well as his wife of 6 years Patti-Ann. When he is not playing sports, Anthony likes nothing more than to enjoy time outdoors fishing, camping and swimming in his pool with his family and his two little girls ages 3 and 4 years old.                                                               

Eliza Willis is possibly one of the most appreciated associates at The Shippers Group because she is responsible for making sure that all other TSG associates are paid on-time and correctly. Eliza is our Payroll Administrator and she is celebrating her 5^th anniversary at TSG.                                                                        

Sarah Sheppard has been promoted to Office Manager in Austell, GA. In her new role, Sarah is in charge of the Customer Service Team in Austell overseeing all systems-related inbound receiving and outbound order processing functions, as well as invoicing and customer and carrier communications. 

When Tonnie Thompson started working at The Shippers Group in 1974, President Richard Nixon resigned in the wake of the Watergate scandal and Gerald Ford became POTUS. Gas was only $.55 per gallon and a dozen eggs cost $.78. That year the Miami Dolphins defeated the Minnesota Vikings in the Superbowl and The Godfather Part 2 was one of the year's most popular movies. During Tonnie's years at The Shippers Group a lot has changed but one thing that has remained consistent is Tonnie's work ethic and dedication to do his best work every day. 

The Shippers Group has been selected from among hundreds of companies who submitted credentials as one of the Top 100 3PL Providers.

Criteria for selection includes geographic coverage, markets served, logistics services, warehousing services, transportation services and innovation. About being named to the Top 100 List, Rob Doyle of The Shippers Group said, “We are extremely pleased to be included among the elite 3PL providers in the Supply Chain industry. For over 118 years, our goal has been to provide the highest level of service and value to our customers.”
