NEW YORK AND TAYLOR, Mich.--Nov. 3, 2000--Lazer Transportation Services, a business of F.X. Coughlin Co. and their Spanish alliance partner, ACS Autonomous Cargo Systems, announce the appointment of Mr. Tony Diz as Market Development Manager - Spain, for the newly formed North America-Spain Trade Region Service Group.
Diz, stationed at Lazer Transportation Services New York offices at the JFK Airport, will coordinate with Lazer's operations teams in North America and the ACS operations teams located throughout Spain for this exciting new joint initiative. Through the North America-Spain Trade Region Service Group, Lazer and ACS intend to speed information on the transportation, packaging and regulatory impacts to customers, large and small, who are evaluating trade opportunities between these two countries.
Increasing trade options among several industry segments, including fashion and automotive manufacturing, have created greater demand, by both existing and new customers, for the localized knowledge and global experience Lazer Transportation Services offers. "The North America-Spain initiative will provide our customers, trading in this region, with real value added service enhancements, just as our North America-UK Trade Region Service Group has demonstrated since its inception in September," said James R. Lhamon, Chief Operating Officer for Lazer Transportation Services.
Diz brings seven years of experience in Spain to New York, most recently managing sales and operations for the ACS company's Barcelona office, where he serviced both the Automotive and Fashion industries. "These are two key industries where Lazer has significant involvement," said Lhamon. "Moving Tony to North America is another example of Lazer's dedication to providing our customers with quick access to the personnel experienced in specific international trade routes as well as industry segments," continued Lhamon.
"I am anxious to unveil to Spain's shoe and textile manufacturers, Lazer's collapsible, garment shipping container program along with the company's other proprietary services, developed for the North American fashion industry," said Tony Diz.
"Lazer has seen over 20% growth from fashion industry customers this year alone and Tony's appointment will be a perfect fit to Lazer's momentum and continued growth in this business segment," said Lhamon.
