Supplying the expansion
Connecting across the region in the drive for logistics efficiency
The automotive logistics landscape in South America is changing rapidly and at Automotive Logistics South America 2012 leading industry players will come together to examine the surge in activity in the region, including the growing interconnectivity between neighbouring countries. Experts will look at how developments, including those in infrastructure, trade policy and foreign investment, are shaping the future of the industry here.
Foreign companies are now eager to benefit from the commercial potential that manufacturing in South America promises and are asking 'how can we be part of this growth?' For the current players it is a question of how to roll with this influx and protect business while also benefitting from the promise that overseas interest offers.
Logistics between neighbouring countries in South America and with the wider world means the proliferation and lengthening of supply chains, making flexibility and efficiency key considerations for the successful growth of the industry.
Carefully structured to give useful breakout sessions for important specialist areas, plenary sessions to hear opinions from policy officials and predictions from the top carmakers, and plenty of opportunity for informal networking, this years’ summit promises to be the must-attend event of the year.
2011 saw some great participation and discussion – this year let’s make some real changes and connect the regions in the drive for logistics efficiency.
