PHOENIX, April 27, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SP Express, a leading national provider of logistics and order fulfillment services, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Marketing Support Solutions, Inc. (MSS), an East Coast provider of high-touch marketing and order fulfillment services for an all-star lineup of clients, including Sony and HTC.

Dina Crowder, Dave Crowder, and Todd Winterfeldt, former owners of MSS, will assume leadership roles in SP Express, adding corporate development, account management and operations talent, expertise and experience to the SP Express organization.
