ROMEOVILLE, Ill., Nov. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Turtle Wax(R), world leader in car
care, has chosen LeSaint Logistics, a top third-party logistics provider based
in the Chicago area, as the provider of Turtle Wax's warehousing, fulfillment
and transportation needs. The agreement will deliver cost savings to Turtle
Wax, which sells its products in more than 90 countries around the globe,
through LeSaint's end-to-end supply chain solutions, backed by real-time
inventory tracking and control.

"It's imperative that we get our product out to our customers as seamlessly
and quickly as possible," comments Andy Taylor, COO for Turtle Wax. "LeSaint's
end-to-end services will guarantee that."

"The value-added equation we've brought to the agreement is all about reducing
costs for Turtle Wax, without any compromise of our service quality or
customer service," says Dino Moler, VP Marketing and Sales for LeSaint.
"Because we are involved with their product every step of the way, we're able
to provide a true, full product-lifecycle solution."

LeSaint's support is engaged right from the start of Turtle Wax's production
cycle, in the logistics of moving raw materials into manufacturing, which
continues through end-product warehousing and distribution to retail
customers. Both companies follow product and inventory progress via LeSaint's
automated technologies. Additionally, a password protected inbound planning
system is provided to Turtle Wax customers through LeSaint's website.

A transparent, open-book approach that rewards flexibility and
cost-competitiveness gave the two privately held companies a comfortable
working relationship.

"Through LeSaint's technologies, we never feel detached from our product,
regardless of where our products are within the warehousing and distribution
cycle. Through their WareTech(TM) systems, all of our inventory can be viewed
in real time," says Jim Mackowiak, Director - Customer/Consumer Service for
Turtle Wax. "Making the decision to go with LeSaint was an easy choice."

As a Top 100 3PL provider, LeSaint delivers intelligent warehousing,
fulfillment and transportation solutions that provide continuous process
improvements to boost the customer's bottom line. With 14 facilities
nationwide, LeSaint focuses on the retail and chemical industries.

Founded more than 60 years ago in Chicago, Turtle Wax is recognized for its
continuous innovation in manufacturing appearance and performance car care
products for the retail consumer market and the commercial car care and
professional detailing industries. Turtle Wax(R) products include the
revolutionary ICE(R) line that cleans and polishes in direct sunlight. The
