Cargo Connection Logistics Establishes a Memorandum of Understanding to Take to the Air in China and the Pacific Rim
Cargo Connection Logistics Holding, Inc.
(OTC BB: CRGO) today announced that its subsidiary, Cargo Connection
Logistics - International, Inc. (CCLI), has executed a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) with ASG Aviation Services Group Inc. (ASG) of Dallas,
Texas.
The MOU creates the basis and a platform for the companies to develop a
joint venture which the companies believe will yield increased global
business opportunities, both independently and in cooperation with each
other. CCLI provides full spectrum logistics programs to its global client
base while ASG provides specialized global expeditionary and scheduled air
logistics options expanding the breadth and depth of multi-modal logistics
solutions for the client.
CCLI and ASG separately, and as a joint venture logistics partnership,
possess distinctive and supportive competencies which broaden the proposed
Joint Venture which is outlined in the MOU.
"The competencies, capabilities and resources of the partners make us a
unique team with complementary focus and unique skill sets establishing a
world-class third-party logistics presence with common orientation and
unique talents complementing the enterprise," said Tom Uglialoro, President
and CEO of ASG.
"ASG brings a strong air cargo philosophy and capability to the company,"
said Jesse Dobrinsky, CEO of Cargo Connection Logistics Holding, Inc.
"ASG's ability to field dedicated leased cargo aircraft programs to
carryout agile global and regional feeder flight operations brings to CCL
the means to affect domestic and international logistics markets.
"Once the joint venture is complete, we will outreach concerning business
opportunities from China and the Pacific Rim for the Company's expansion
into and out of these business markets," said Dobrinsky.
"Controlling our own aircraft will provide us with a presence in the
Pacific Rim which most small forwarders have not even thought about," said
David Quach, President of Cargo Connection Logistics - International, Inc.
"This will enable Cargo Connection Logistics to expand its business in the
areas we are concentrating on in Asia and the Pacific Rim. I am very
pleased with the MOU and look forward to leveraging the joint venture. My
primary goal will be to make Cargo Connection Logistics - International a
major player in the logistics business in China and the Pacific Rim as the
Company embarks on its goals and objectives to expand its international
operations. The addition of ASG to the Cargo Connection team will help us
accomplish that goal."
The Company will now focus its attention on the international arena. Its
primary focus will be to secure business from origins around the world with
its initial focus on the Pacific-Asian Rim. Dobrinsky said that they
anticipate this will be accomplished through some of the Company's recently
announced joint ventures.
