Empowering Global Supply Chains Through Woman-Owned Excellence

At Perimeter Global Logistics (PGL), one of our greatest points of pride is being certified with the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC). We’re a woman-owned and operated company, built on the foundations of integrity, innovation, and service excellence. Not only does PGL stand out in the global supply chain, but so does our leadership!

Investing in supplier diversity gives companies a measurable business advantage. According to Forbes, top supplier diversity programs generate 133% greater return on procurement-operations cost, adding roughly $3.6 million in value for every $1 million spent. Selecting a certified woman-owned logistics provider enhances operational performance while helping you meet key supplier diversity objectives.

About Lyn
Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, we believe that world-class logistics is more than just moving freight; it’s about connecting people, enabling commerce, and empowering organizations to meet mission-critical goals. And at the very heart of PGL’s success is Merry Lyndell LaMothe, our Chief Executive Officer and Owner of the company. As a graduate in Fashion Merchandising from the University of Houston, Lyn served as an officer in the Zeta Tau Alpha sorority and was also crowned Ms. Baytown, TX. In 2010, she and her husband, William LaMothe, acquired 78% of PGL’s stock and set forth on a journey that has grown the company into a major player in the global supply chain, with operations spanning the world.

It enhances your contracting eligibility, clears diversity spend targets, and strengthens your competitive posture. When you work with PGL, you are partnering with a company that values family, faith, community, and advancement of women in leadership—while delivering world-class logistics and supply-chain performance.
