The leading supplier of supply chain management and technology-enabled transportation services, Echo Global Logistics, Inc. ("Echo"), has announced the extension of its cross-border services into Mexico. Following almost eight years of overseeing shipping solutions along the southern border, Echo has set up shop in Mexico City, Monterrey, and Laredo, Texas. Troy Ryley, a seasoned logistics professional and leader, has been named President of Echo Mexico.
Dave Menzel, President and Chief Operating Officer of Echo, stated that "expanding our solutions in Mexico is an important step for Echo." "Despite the fact that we have been a significant participant in Mexico for almost ten years, having employees there will enable us to streamline brokerage on both sides of the border and assist our clients and carriers in navigating customs and the border crossing.
With thousands of shipments flowing to and from Mexico and the southern border each month, we are starting with a strategic advantage," Ryley stated. "I'm thrilled to use Echo's reach and cutting-edge technology to expand the company and deliver the dependability and openness that our customers demand.
In terms of cross-border shipping between the United States and Mexico, Echo has been a fantastic partner for us," stated Carlos Alonso, LATAM Transportation Manager of Echo customer Cummins Inc. "We are thrilled about Echo's increased capabilities and investment in local staff and offices in Mexico. Echo's services are highly adaptable and customized to meet our specific requirements. It arrives at a perfect moment for Cummins, as we keep growing our business in the area."
With the infrastructure in place to expand further, Echo has made quick progress in navigating border crossings, an often challenging and intimidating task. Like his Echo Mexico team, Ryley is multilingual and brings over thirty years of experience to Echo, including a long history of leading and growing big teams and a wealth of expertise in creating integrated logistical solutions between the United States and Mexico.
