About the Automotive Logistics Global Conference
According to the conference organizers from Automotive Logistics Magazine:
“The resurgence of U.S. automotive sales has brought with it a new look at the right location for vehicle manufacturing. An awareness of total supply chain cost – which includes factors like the risk and expense of natural disasters and man-made disruptions – is now standard operating procedure. The result is new investment in production plants across North America with Mexico in the spotlight but by no means alone. It means re-shaping the tier supplier base as China prices ramp upwards. And, it means new flows of finished vehicles, for example to and from Europe.”
