THE 40-YEAR “LOGISTICS STORY” OF TRANSIMEX

When we speak of logistics, the image that most people may often imagine is one of transport trucks with long snaking trailers behind them; or perhaps it is an image of containers stacked densely at the port or on transoceanic ships; or even images of cranes, lifting equipment, modern warehouses, planes full of goods, and more. And we may imagine the “people of logistics” to be those guys in uniforms, holding stacks of documents, dutifully stationed at the seaports, ICDs, airports and at customers' warehouses.

But the story of logistics is not just that.

The story of logistics is the story of expanding warehouses in locations that are most convenient for shipping and receiving customers' goods in the most cost-efficient and timely fashion.

The story of logistics is the story of researching and investing in warehouses that meet the highest standards for storage and maintenance of customer goods, especially those with the strictest and most sensitive preservation requirements - such as pharmaceuticals, food, and other items with a short shelf life.

The story of logistics is the story of arranging and packaging customers' goods in a way that is safe, appropriate, and cost-effective while still ensuring maximal quality upon delivery; it is the story of cost optimization for each shipment; it is the story of building backup plans for emergent situations. It is the story of arranging and operating the entire system so that it is smooth and consistent. It is the story of consulting and providing comprehensive and effective logistics solutions, suiting the needs of each customer while still being capable of serving many customers at once.

The story of logistics is the story of self-improvement in the realm of quality management and operations according to the latest standards. It is the story of constantly applying new achievements in science, technology, materials, etc. to catch up and keep pace with the international logistics industry.

For Transimex, the story of the "logistics guy" is also the story of constantly challenging and overcoming one's own limits to become more and more excellent, constantly reaching for perfection.

For today, for tomorrow and for eternity!
