CII expands in Chicago

   Freight forwarder Consolidators International (CII) has opened a new facility in the Chicago suburb of Wood Dale.
   The facility is located near O’Hare airport, and is convenient to Chicago’s trucking network and rail depots. It will act as a key distribution and processing center for shippers throughout the upper Midwest for their air and ocean freight, CII said.
  “Our just opened office offers an entire range of CII’s logistic capabilities into and out of Chicago,” said Jesse Maugle, CII’s vice president of ocean freight and general manager in Chicago. “The CII terminal is equipped to handle every important type of freight including hi-tech equipment and components, aerospace material, automotive parts and supplies, fashion and home furnishings, medical and pharmaceutical products.”
   CII has recently opened other offices in the United States and abroad. A few months ago, a Houston office was opened.  Expansion of its existing offices in Atlanta and JFK in New York and Auckland, New Zealand is underway.
