KOM International Continues Growth Through Licensing Agreement with ABPL Associates of Brazil
MONTREAL, Quebec, Canada, October 1, 2001 - KOM International Inc., a global leader in supply chain consulting, today announced the signing of a licensing agreement with ABPL and Associates of Uberlandia, Brazil. ABPL and Associates has been providing manufacturing and supply chain consulting services throughout Brazil for many years and is one of the country's largest and most established consulting firms that specialize in the supply chain.
Speaking on behalf of KOM International's Latin American operations, Alan Taliaferro, Senior Partner, commented, "This agreement will definitely benefit our clients throughout Latin America by allowing us to provide global consulting services in a more cost-effective way".
ABPL provides a wide range of manufacturing, supply chain and change management consulting services to companies throughout Brazil. Altamiro Borges, President and Founder of ABPL commented on the agreement, "We are pleased to be associated with KOM International and we expect that with their support, we will be better able to serve our local clients, expand our market penetration and increase sales".
KOM International sees great potential for supply chain consulting services in the Latin American markets, as companies race to catch up to their global competitors. According to Taliaferro, "Most logistics and distribution operations in the region are highly underdeveloped. There are significant opportunities for companies to focus on the fundamentals to improve efficiencies. For example, transportation remains particularly underdeveloped, with most third-party trucking companies owning less than three trucks. The opportunities for manufacturers, distributors and retailers to modernize and improve service levels, at a lower cost, are enormous".
