Supply chain specialist Tigers USA has moved its Miami team into a new, larger facility to strengthen its focus on the Latin American region and to meet growing global e-commerce demands.

According to Tigers, the purpose-built facility measures 34,115 square feet and includes a new office as well as a warehouse with nearly double the storage capacity of the previous location. The facility is bonded and serves as a container freight station and an in-bond export consolidation warehouse. It will be led by Elena Varona, branch manager.

“This new larger facility in South Florida will allow Tigers to grow our focus on the Latin American region as well as expand our capabilities to service the growing e-commerce market,” said Varona. “The team will play a key role in further growing our eTigers product, providing end-to-end supply chain solutions for online customers around the world, as well as drive the launch of a new cross-border e-commerce service into Europe from Miami later this year. All of this is boosted by our unique forwarding and consolidation capabilities into Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as out of China.”

Varona has been responsible for the Miami branch since June 2017 and has been with Tigers for 20 years, with a particular focus on the Central and South American market.

Tigers USA’s South Florida team was first established 30 years ago, and provides outbound logistics services to Latin America and the Caribbean, and inbound logistics services to the Asia-Pacific region, including weekly direct consolidation services to Miami from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Shanghai, Ningbo and Shenzhen.

Tigers operates 16 offices in North America, consisting of Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Los Angeles, Riverside, Miami, New York, Newark, San Francisco and Seattle, with further expansion expected in 2019.
