Crescent Revised Business Lines |
|
As Crescent grew throughout the teens of the 21st century (2010-2019), we branded and positioned ourselves in the supply chain industry as a service provider that offered three core services: Promotional Services, Contract Packaging, and Integrated Logistics. Under these three service banners, marketing Crescent served us well. It helped establish our reputation as a Premier Service Provider. As we developed and rolled out our company Strategy midway through the decade, we introduced the Crescent Way; we gained more clarity around our Purpose of who we are and why our customers need us. This newfound clarity gave us improved insights into why outsourcing is critical to our Customers’ overall success, guiding us to focus on the services they need to improve their quality and competitiveness in their market.
As Crescent continues to grow, we determined our three core services had matured into two core services, Contract Packaging and Parts Fulfillment. Additionally, we decided that our core services are complemented or enhanced by six Value Enhanced Services – Design & Promotional Services, Sourcing, Engineered Solutions, Transportation, Warehousing, and Distribution. Working together, our core services and value-enhanced services meet our Customers’ needs and strengthen their competitive advantage.
The new Crescent service model offers intangible value to customers. Therefore, it changes how we select key customers and attract business for a better Crescent service, performance, with the results of a premier service provider within our industry.

C10 is a new stand-alone, multi-customer operation consisting of C1 Contract Packaging, Parts Fulfillment, and Transportation services.
C10 replaces our C8 facility, which we’ll entirely vacate by the end of the year. It will operate as both the buffer warehouse for material storage and the C1 contract packaging operation’s overflow production. Additionally, the Crescent sales team is currently working on a request for proposal (RFP) with Energizer holdings and Pratt Display to run Blister pack business and assemble displays.
C10 is located at 5226 East Provident Drive, Cincinnati, Ohio 45246, where Crescent C5 was located. The new C10 is the combination of C5 plus the rest of the facility, which Beiersdorf previously ran as their former U.S. distribution center, that was moved to Memphis, TN. C10 is almost 100k sq. ft. larger than C8, creates an expanded GE operations footprint, and allows for C1 contract packaging customer growth with greater storage and production capacity.
Facility completion is targeted for December 2020! More news to come!

When it comes to your health, education is critical. Crescent’s onsite Biometric screening or screening conducted by your primary care physician is a significant first step to understanding your numbers. You can then make educated health decisions from there.
Getting your cholesterol levels checked is an integral part of staying healthy. High cholesterol increases your risk for heart disease and stroke, two leading causes of death in the United States. Knowing your cholesterol status can help you stay in control of your health.
High blood cholesterol doesn’t have symptoms, so many people don’t know their levels are high. That’s why it’s so important to have your cholesterol checked. All it takes is a simple blood test.
Do you know your numbers? If you participated in the biometric screening, you can log into the site and collect your cholesterol numbers. Review your cholesterol numbers with your doctor and know your risk of high cholesterol and prevention tips.
