Vanguard Logistics strengthens focus on corporate development

 

The company announces heightened corporate presence in Melbourne office of Vanguard Logistics Australia

SYDNEY (April 18, 2005) — Vanguard Logistics Australia, a member of the OTS Logistics Group, announced the newly created position of General Manager of Corporate Development in the South Pacific. Vince Argenzio, who is currently the Regional Vice President for NACA Logistics (USA) Inc., which represents OTS Logistics Group in the United States, will fill the position. Argenzio’s new role will place a higher level of seniority on-site by elevating corporate support based in the Melbourne office.

Chairman of the OTS Logistics Group, Owen Glenn, further explained the significance of the position and the direction the company is taking, “Moving Vince Argenzio into the corporate development function will add the high-level resources we need to support our corporate clients. His task is to provide the focus in servicing the needs of larger customers who have complicated needs and whose requirements don’t fall into our regular service offerings, regardless of how high the quality of that service is. These customers need personal attention from us in putting together customized service offerings, whether these relate to points of service, types of value added services, exception management or special reporting. Typical customers that fall into this category will have cargo from and to many different points in the world, will need customized solutions and typically will be supporting optimized supply chains for their own clients – which means that reliability of service is paramount to their needs. Vince will help develop these customized solutions and ensure that our global organization supports them”.

Argenzio’s new responsibilities comprise a wide range of functions for the organization; however, his first objective will be furthering the development of the region.

“This position is about giving more corporate support and presence to the office. Melbourne is a very large office and it warrants a more concentrated focus,” explained Argenzio, “ Mostly, it is an exciting change because the development will, naturally, further growth for all regions.”

An Australian citizen, Argenzio originally came to the United States with AFS and has been stationed with the NACA Logistics (USA) Inc. Los Angeles office since the company acquired assets of AFS in 2000.

“It has been a terrific experience at this post and I will certainly miss the friendships I have made here and keep contact, but it is time to return and I am ready for this position,” commented Argenzio.
