APRIL 2007 UPDATE What's new at AHFA Supplier Member companies...
Globe Express Services is celebrating the first-year success of Manlog Logistics Canada, a wholly-owned subsidiary, by announcing that a new Montréal, Québec, office is now fully operational. The Montreal office joins corporate locations in Toronto, Ontario, and Vancouver, British Columbia, which were established during Manlog’s initial launch in early 2006. This latest expansion not only extends Globe’s coverage in North America, it also enhances the company’s foothold within Canada’s $700 billion import/export market. Although the United States remains Canada’s largest trading partner, its trade with the Far East is growing. Globe’s well-established infrastructure in Asia places it in a position to provide logistics solutions to Canadian companies in this growing market. www.globeexpress.com
