Staff -- Logistics Management, 6/22/2005

ANN ARBOR, Mich.— Con-Way Transportation Services Inc. has announced that its Mexican operating company, Con-Way Mexico Express, will open a network of six logistics centers to serve the major commercial shipping markets in Mexico. The facilities, located in Nuevo Laredo, Monterrey, San Luis Potosi, Duadalajara, Queretaro, and Mexico City, will begin operations on July 4, 2005.

The new logistics centers will arrange freight transport across the U.S./Mexico border and within Mexico, and will also provide cross docking, assembly, and short-term warehousing. “We eventually want to provide the same service in Mexico that we currently provide in the United States and Canada,” says Con-Way president David S. McClimon.

Since establishing its presence in Mexico in 1992, Con-Way has expanded its sales offices to Guadalajara, Queretaro, and Mexico City. Managed by Con-Way Mexico personnel, the logistics network will be linked to the Con-Way computer system, allowing full operations control and visibility of shipment movements and storage details.
