Dedola 50 Years of Global Supply Chain and Logistics Service

 

Dedola Global Logistics: Delivering Percision for 50 years

In 2025, Dedola Global Logistics celebrates a significant milestone—50 years of client partnerships, innovation, and global impact. What began in 1976 as a focused solution for underserved importers has grown into a trusted logistics partner for businesses navigating the complexities of international trade.

Founded by John Dedola with a vision to bring clarity and confidence to small and mid-sized importers, our story is rooted in purpose. But while we’re proud of our beginnings, our continued success lies in how we’ve carried that purpose forward.

It’s been nearly three decades since the second generation took the reins. During that time, Marc and Stephen Dedola have led the company through a period of accelerated transformation—keeping the client at the center while adapting to a world where speed, transparency, and agility are everything.

Leading Through Change: Stephen Dedola as CIO

Stephen Dedola, who has played a pivotal role since the 1980s, now serves as Chief Innovation Officer. From his early push to adopt desktop computing—back when the industry was dominated by expensive, centralized systems—Stephen’s vision has consistently reshaped how Dedola delivers value.

Today, his focus is on leveraging AI, automation, and data-driven insights to streamline operations and give importers greater control over their supply chains. In an environment where complexity is the new normal, innovation isn’t just a differentiator—it’s essential.

Marc Dedola’s Client-Driven Leadership

Working alongside Stephen, Marc Dedola continues to drive client strategy and service excellence. His hands-on leadership ensures that every technological investment is grounded in what matters most: delivering better outcomes for the businesses we serve. Whether it’s tailoring solutions to unique challenges or navigating unexpected disruption, Marc’s approach keeps our clients competitive and resilient.
