GeoLogistics Corporation, a leading global transportation and logistics company, has opened its own office in Santiago, Chile.

In addition, GeoLogistics has appointed Marco Gamma as its new Senior Vice President, Latin American Development, effective immediately. Gamma will be based in GeoLogistics' Miami office.

"We're excited about building upon our customer offering in Chile, an extremely important market in our growing Latin American operations," said Bill Flynn, Chief Executive Officer, GeoLogistics Corp. "By having full-control of our operations we will be able to focus our quality and better integrate customers into our global network."

GeoLogistics Chile will provide total supply chain solutions to the Chilean importers and exporters. The office covers all major airports and seaports within Chile.

"Chile has one of the most solid economies in South America," said Alex Leivici, the company's Americas Chief Executive Officer, based in Santa Ana, "With our strong expertise in project cargo, perishables and retail solutions it makes great sense to further invest in this growing market."

Besides long-term growth opportunities, one major reason for the change from exclusive partnership to its own GeoLogistics operation is to affirm the strategic commitment to the South American market.

"It's a very strong commitment and I think it sends a signal to the market that GeoLogistics is serious about its business in the region," said Thomas Otersen, CEO of GeoLogistics, Chile. "Having a strong local operation with an international network means we can offer our customers a tailor-made door-door solution."
