T S KALADHARAN, CSS GROUP CHAIRMAN VISITS CAROTRANS
Chairman of CSS Group, T S Kaladharan visited CaroTrans head office in New Jersey and offices in Chicago with Roshmon Manoli, Route Development Manager – North America, in May 2014, with a focus on building further growth plans for the year 2014/2015. During the course of their visit to CaroTrans offices, they conducted meetings with Greg Howard, Global CEO, Michael Forkenbrock, President, CaroTrans International and Riyaz Jordan, Branch Manager, while discussing new opportunities in the market and ways to further develop the business in 2014/2015. The meeting allowed both partners to discuss growth areas within their markets that would serve as a channel for development within the routes that they operate in. “In our business it is vital to meet with partners face to face, as it allows us to better understand the economic scenario that they are working in, while understanding new growth opportunities that together as partners can be mutually beneficial,” said T S Kaladharan.
With an increase in demand for value-added global import transportation services, CaroTrans, a leading global NVOCC, ocean freight consolidator and longstanding alliance partner to the CSS Group, is strategically expanding its import service operations and coverage in key trade lanes. In the last twelve months, CaroTrans has expanded its global import service network in key global trade regions including Asia, North and South America, Middle East and Europe.
“It is always a pleasure to welcome the team at CSS Group to our offices here in New Jersey and Chicago. With the recent growth the Middle East is experiencing since after the recession, it is important that as partners we regroup and realign our plans for the future in order to fully capitalize on what is clearly a growing market. Partners like CSS Group are very important in our industry as their acute and in-depth knowledge of the industry within the region they operate in, is comparable to none. We look forward to working with the team very closely in 2014/2015, and look forward to an exciting year ahead,” said Greg Howard.
