The newly established presence in Mexico is providing ocean import and export transportation, landside operations, freight consolidation, freight de-consolidation and other freight handling services to customers in and around Mexico.

"We see a presence in Mexico as being of strategic significance to our global expansion plans", said Mr. Owen Glenn, chairman of OTS Logistics Group. "We have aggressive growth plans both from acquisitions and internal organic growth for the next 2 years, accompanied by a widening of our geographic coverage. We are doing both; at the same time that we were completing a significant acquisition in Europe, we were growing through expansion in Latin America with the opening of this office."

Covering almost 1.2 million square miles, Mexico is one of the largest countries in Latin America, with a population of approximately 107 million and an import market of over $222 billion.

"We opened our own offices in response to customer requests. We are confident that by applying the same focus on customer service and efficiency as we do throughout the world, that we will quickly differentiate ourselves from our competitors. Having our own office gives us significant advantage over our competitors who rely primarily on agents. For example, we can offer truly global visibility solutions by implementing our own standard operating procedures." said Hal Donahue, Regional Manager Director for Latin America.
