Cargo Connection Logistics Holding, Inc. (OTC BB: CRGOE) (Berlin: CD6.BE) (Frankfurt: 217026) today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Cargo Connection Logistics Corp., has named William O'Connell as Vice President of Sales and Marketing. Previously, O'Connell had been with Airfreight Warehouse Corporation where he had a distinguished 35 year career in various capacities. In 1999 he was promoted to President of Airfreight Warehouse Co. and two other divisions of the operation including a local trucking operation and a security guard company.

"William brings a wealth of experience along with a stellar reputation and extensive industry contacts to our company," said Jesse Dobrinsky, CEO of Cargo Connection Logistics Corp. "He is the ideal candidate to assist with our aggressive expansion plans for JFK as well our other facilities nationwide."

Dobrinsky said Cargo Connection is currently performing many of the same services that Airfreight Warehouse Company provided in their JFK facility. These services include U.S. Customs validations, local deliveries, airport pickups, special projects and other services when required.

"Being selected as the Company's Vice President of Sales is a terrific opportunity for me to utilize my nearly four decades of industry experience to help Cargo Connection Logistics Corp. grow and increase annual revenues," said O'Connell.
