These openings mark the first step in an integrated plan to expand the company’s corporate office network from 42 to 50 by the end of 2011, in order to have the right people in the right places to support its ambitious future growth. By adhering to a simple formula – “people + network + technology”, the company says, GES delivers customized logistics solutions to a diverse global client base doing business in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, the Americas and around the world.
Located in a 110,000 square foot, multifunctional site, GES Miami will serve as a key gateway facility for Latin American trade.
