Geodis Wilson sponsors Global Automotive Logistics conference

Geodis Wilson, one of the world’s leading freight management companies, will be a Silver sponsor at this year’s Global Automotive Logistics conference in the United States. This year’s event is focusing
on ‘Designing new supply chain networks’ and the pressure to respond to the demands of the industry by providing value and eliminating waste. As part of the conference program, Mark Ellis, Global Industry Director – Automotive for Geodis Wilson, will be speaking about Just-in-time supply globally for the auto industry.

“The transformation of the automotive industry in North America provides huge opportunities for manufacturers, but also brings challenges as companies strive to find logistics solutions that are efficient enough to keep up with recent changes” said Mark Ellis.

 “We know from a vast experience the challenges faced by automotive customers in North America and the need for innovative solutions that can add value and eliminate waste – and therefore we are delighted to be able to support this year’s conference as it examines the industry’s supply chain and improves efficiency.”

 The North American automotive industry is one of the fastest growing industries across the globe. The region is home to some of the biggest names in the automotive industry such as Ford Motors Co., General Motor Co., and others have been at the forefront of technological advancements and innovations. In the recent past, the industry was struck by the economic meltdown of 2009 but the industry has recovered and is now back on its track to reach record heights over the period of next five years.

With this growth and maturity in the market, comes great responsibility to improve and optimize the supply chain while handling added volume increases.
