Universal adds a second location in the U.S.

Clients looking for a complete package of logistics services for the U.S. market can now use a name they know and trust:  Universal Logistics USA.  

“With the recently completed acquisition of an international freight forwarder in Cleveland, Ohio, we are now better positioned to handle all of our clients’ import and export requirements on both sides of the U.S./Canada border,” said Michael Glionna, President – Universal Logistics.  “We have come a long way since the company was established by my grandfather in 1949 and continue to build on our existing strengths:

  • international air and ocean freight services
  • specialization on trade lanes connecting North America to Europe and Asia”

Universal formally entered the U.S. market in 2010, when the company acquired a fully licensed customs brokerage business in Buffalo, New York.  “The addition of our second U.S. office is an exciting milestone in the company’s growth and enhances our ability to focus on serving the Northern portion of New York and Pennsylvania as well as Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and the other U.S. Midwest States” said Mr. Glionna.

Quick Tip #57
When Incoterms are incomplete

The shipping term FOB (Free on Board) is incomplete when the port of shipment and country are omitted. Moreover, you could end up paying extra if an incorrect assumption (guess) is made about your port of shipment (many countries have multiple ports of shipment).
