STOUGHTON, Wis., June 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Two major logistics information
firms have formed a strategic alliance. The leading European market research
provider, Transport Intelligence, and U.S.-based 3PL experts, Armstrong &
Associates, have pooled their skills to better cover global logistics and
supply chain management.
Under the new alliance, the two companies will share information on the
European, American and Asian, markets. They will offer each other's clients
the full range of their products, services and expertise. Better coverage for
consulting operations is a significant benefit. The initiative has already
led to a successful collaboration identifying and matchmaking European and
U.S. logistics partners for a company seeking to develop its global presence.
The major publications of the firms, Who's Who In Logistics? Armstrong's
Guide to Global Supply Chain Management, Asia Pacific Logistics 2004 and
European Contract Logistics Leaders are sharing information to expand their
coverage and insight.
John Manners-Bell, Director of Transport Intelligence, commented on the
alliance: "Our clients, whether they are logistics providers, manufacturers,
retailers, consultancies or banks, increasingly require information on a
global basis. By entering into a partnership with the highly respected
logistics research specialists in North America, we are taking our product
offerings to a new level."
Richard Armstrong, President of Armstrong & Associates, added, "This
alliance gives us the physical presence we need to do a better job covering
Europe. Transport Intelligence is in a better position to do the legwork for
consulting and reporting in Europe and the Mid-East. Both of our operations
are being pulled to Asian coverage. Companies in Japan, Singapore and China
are looking for our help. The industry work experience, backgrounds and
education levels of Transport Intelligence and Armstrong & Associates
personnel are so similar that this is a nice fit."
