Globe Express establishes Manaus presence

Globe Express establishes Manaus presence Globe Express, the freight forwarding and logistics services provider, has established a presence in industrial northern Brazil at Manaus, Brazil.
   Charlotte, N.C.-based Globe, best known for its activities in the U.S./Asia trades, opened an office in S'o Paulo a year ago. It will now offer logistics services in Manaus at the Manaus Duty Free Zone through a partnership with the Brazil-based logistics services company Profactory Consultoria.
   Flavio Padilha, Globe's general manager for Brazil, said he believes Manaus is likely to become an increasingly important location as part of a projected road-river link between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, as an alternative to the Panama Canal.
