KOM International Opens New Office in Mexico City

MONTREAL, Quebec, Canada, September 15, 2001 - KOM International Inc., a global leader in supply chain consulting, today announced its continued expansion with the opening of new offices in Mexico City, Mexico.

KOM International opened the offices in Mexico City as a new center of excellence in supply chain management for the Mexican market. Alan Taliaferro, Senior Partner responsible for KOM International's Latin American operations, comments "KOM International has already demonstrated a successful track record in Mexico by having served some of the nation's largest manufacturers and retailers. The opening of our offices in Mexico City is an important commitment for our company to better serve the needs of our clients in this market through a local presence".

In Mexico, there is significant capital investment taking place in infrastructure and logistics spending, due in part to American companies doing business in the country.

"We are already achieving more success than expected and generating new business in Mexico, which we couldn't have done from a distance", comments Taliaferro. "KOM International is continuing to make the necessary investments in people, training, equipment, and infrastructure to demonstrate to the market that we are here to stay."

In order to build up the consulting practice and skill sets in Mexico City, KOM International has transferred several professional logisticians, with specialized expertise in supply chain management, from its Caracas, Venezuela operation. "Our strategy has enabled us to better serve our clients with seasoned professionals who understand distribution and can deliver practical and results-oriented solutions to real-world operations issues" comments Taliaferro. The knowledge transfer strategy has recently resulted in the successful implementation of a completely new supply chain strategy for Mexico's largest generic drug manufacturer and distributor, a new showcase for KOM International in Mexico.
