GKM WI TEU Import & Export Intermodal Forum

Register today for the GKM WI TEU Intermodal Forum. This event includes speakers who are Global Supply Chain Executives for well-known companies in Wisconsin, and one of the most knowledgeable professionals about global trade risk management, tariff mitigation, and indirect tax spending.

 

Learn how a supply chain professional, from one of the largest importers of finished goods in Wisconsin addressed the region's congested rail system, chassis shortages, excessive charges for TEU relocation and storage. Also learn how the Manager of Global Logistics and Trade Compliance, on-boarded the WI TEU Platform in 2016 to manage imports, deconsolidate TEUs's at the WI International Process Center, located in Joliet, IL. After the container is processed, goods are transferred to a 53' trailer for transport to Sheboygan, WI. Products are palletized and positioned for immediate inventory placement upon arrival. Also learn how the WI TEU Platform helped Vollrath replace their private fleet with the asset-based carrier that serves as COC for the WI TEU Platform. And finally, learn about the WI TEU Platform and how new trade laws continue to be enacted, and why the regulatory environment has become highly complex. Companies are compelled to demonstrate compliance with legal mandates through documented assessments, and Shannon Bryant, MBA will share how she led trade policy and program management for world class companies, Harley-Davidson Motor Company, Georgia Pacific, Oshkosh Corporation and others. Results included hundreds of millions in career cost savings for global logistics.
