UWL Solidifies Westward Expansion: Announces New Tulsa, Oklahoma Office

CLEVELAND, OH (October 22nd, 2015) – Due to significant growth this fiscal year that has continued on through Q4, UWL is proud to announce the opening of their newest office in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The new space opened on October 5th, solidifying UWL’s westward expansion of the company. This new location will serve both importers and exporters in Oklahoma, Southwest Missouri, and South Kansas. Chris Krawczyk, Director of Regional Sales for UWL Oklahoma, believes this new location holds substantial opportunities for the company.

“Our new Tulsa office will play an integral part in the growth of UWL.
