PBB Global Logistics has acquired Houston-based project cargo specialist
Global Transport Services.
Global Transport Services was started in 1989 and is known for its ability to
transport large-scale oil and gas equipment shipments to remote parts of the world.
It recently shipped 50 container loads of oil field equipment across the
Algerian desert into Niger in North Africa. The company regularly transports 10,000 to
15,000 revenue tons a year to the region, often accompanied by heavily armed military
escorts.
Global Transport Services also manages frequent shipments to countries in
Latin America, such as Colombia, Venezuela and Peru.
"Houston is a major gateway to the Latin American market, and a prime
consolidation hub for southbound shipments," said Glenn Brown, president and chief
executive officer of PBB, based in Buffalo, N.Y. "We are now strategically positioned
in Houston to meet this need."
