CEVA Logistics Named 2008 'Transportation Partner of the Year' by Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc.

 CEVA's proven performance and operational excellence recognized two years
                                  running

    HOUSTON, May 15 /PRNewswire/ -- CEVA Logistics, the fourth largest
supply chain management company in the world, was recently recognized as
"Transportation Partner of the Year" by Fujitsu Computer Products of
America, Inc. (FCPA). For the second year in a row, CEVA has emerged as the
most valued supply chain partner for one of the world's leading suppliers
of innovative computer products.

    "CEVA has consistently demonstrated the level of performance and
personal service necessary to earn this award," said Glenn Wood, senior
director, logistics, Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc. "Working
closely with FCPA, CEVA has developed and executed innovative solutions
that provide a higher level of service while removing cost from our model.
The fact that CEVA (formerly EGL) maintained service excellence and
enhanced our partnership in the midst of their merger with TNT Logistics is
particularly impressive."

    FCPA's service providers were evaluated in the areas of operational
execution, cost reduction initiatives, customer service and technology.
CEVA's performance over the measured period earned the highest score since
the inception of the award. On May 7, Wood presented CEVA with the award at
the world Freight Management Headquarters in Houston, Texas.

    "It's an honor to be recognized as Fujitsu Computer Products of
America's top logistics provider for the second consecutive year," said Joe
Bento, president, global freight management, CEVA. "We have worked hard to
differentiate ourselves through flexibility and innovation, but equally
important is the reciprocal commitment by FCPA to a partnership that is
mutually rewarding. We value the relationship we have with FCPA and look
forward to continuing to play a key role in Fujitsu's goals and strategic
objectives for the future."

    FCPA and CEVA have continually expanded their transportation
partnership since it began in 2006. Today, CEVA services nearly every
segment of Fujitsu's supply chain, from transportation services including
customs brokerage to contract logistics and manages multiple logistics
facilities for FCPA in North America.
