Bolloré Logistics USA has opened a new office in Charleston, South Carolina.

According to Bolloré, the new office will focus on east/west ocean traffic flows with China, Japan, Southeast Asia and North Europe, particularly in industries such as aerospace, automotive, manufacturing and retail.

“Opening our newest office in Charleston demonstrates our commitment to grow in the United States and a specific focus on the dynamic and growing economy in the Southeast,” said Seth Brown, regional manager for the Southeast US [second from left in photo]. “With our new office, we show our commitment to being close to our customers, unlike many of our competitors who are choosing to centralize or off-shore their operations. We are already a Top10 logistics and transportation player globally and our aim is further profitable growth in the coming years.”
