To succeed in the dynamic and ever-evolving world of international logistics, it is crucial to foster strong global partnerships and stay informed about the latest industry trends and geopolitical landscapes.

Their participation highlights Universal Logistics’ commitment to improving its operational strategies and client services on a global scale.
Strategic Meetings for Future Collaborations
At the conference, Paul and John had meaningful one-on-one conversations with more than 30 individuals belonging to 26 different forwarding companies. These companies were from 38 countries around the world. These interactions provided a rare and comprehensive understanding of the various challenges and opportunities present in the global trade landscape. The current geopolitical conditions had a significant impact on these discussions.
Paul Glionna emphasized the importance of these meetings, stating, “Given the current geopolitical landscape and its impact on international trade, meeting in person with our freight forwarding agent partners from all corners of the world gives us a unique understanding and perspective of local markets and conditions impacting global trade.
