The 2025 Certified Transportation Network (CTN) conference took us to the city of Dallas in the Lonestar state of Texas. Representing Universal at the event were Mark Glionna, Vice President – Client Relations & Business Development; Paul Glionna, Vice President – Systems Development & Operations; Debbie McGuire, Director – Freight Solutions and David Lychek, Director – Ocean & Air Services.
Over the course of the conference, our team engaged with more than 40 international logistics partners. With global supply chains continuing to feel the ripple effects of US tariff policies, the event provided a timely opportunity to share insights and explore new solutions. “With many clients exploring alternative markets, these meetings give us a valuable perspective on global trends and help us offer informed guidance,” said Mark Glionna. “Our close collaboration with international partners allows us to bring those insights directly to our clients.”
A highlight of the event was Universal being recognized as CTN’s Top Contributor, a testament to the company’s ongoing commitment to partnership, innovation and service excellence. “Thanks to the strong relationships we’ve built through CTN, we’re able to react swiftly to disruptions in the market,” added Paul Glionna. “That flexibility helps us keep our clients’ freight moving, even in uncertain times.”
