Flash Global Logistics Expands Brazil Ops: Extended Network, Decreased Cycle Time, Customs Clearance

April 14, 2010 - PRLog -- Customized Tools, Team and Technology Facilitate Emerging Market Growth

Pine Brook, NJ – April 14, 2010 – Flash Global Logistics, leader in single source innovative supply chain solutions for mission critical parts and products, announces growth of its Brazil Operations to include 26 forward stocking locations in Brazil, a Distribution Center, tri-lingual Command Center, and capabilities as a legal entity for import and export of parts and products.  Flash systems are electronic nota fiscal compliant to allow for filing within the Brazilian fiscal system.

"Our clients and the marketplace are demanding capabilities in BRIC countries, particularly Brazil to facilitate their customers’ trade,” said Jim van Leenen, CEO and President Flash Global Logistics.  “Flash has invested in Brazil to out-service the competition, guaranteeing reduction in cycle time into and out of Brazil beyond the perceived standards.  For companies requiring innovation, speed, and an end to end solution from import through storage, shipment and reverse logistics in Brazil, Flash is positioned to assist companies of many sizes across various industries to reach their customers and end users.”

Flash Global Logistics has increased speed and efficiency of shipments in many emerging markets, including Russia.  For instance, a shipment that may have taken 8 weeks to reach Moscow from the UK can be achieved in under three weeks with no Customs issues with the help of Flash, due to regional expertise of Flash’s team.

Flash recently expanded capabilities for import of medical parts into Brazil, providing consultation regarding classification of goods and the harmonized code system.  Flash is speaking onsite April 15 at the Reverse Logistics Association conference in São Paulo.
