Canadian freight distribution and supply chain firm Purolator Courier Ltd has begun Global Supply Chain services from its brand new facility in Richmond, British Colombia.

The facility which was unveiled earlier this year along with Purolator’s integrated supply chain services, will the company says, meet the needs of customers transporting goods into or out of Canada via a third party ocean or air carrier, the storage of cargo if the need arises and ultimately the delivery of the cargo to its final destination.

Purolator lays claim to being one of Canada’s leading freight distribution companies, boasting a network that includes more than 3,500 couriers, over 140 operational locations, over 150 Shipping Centres and over 550 Authorized Shipping Agents.

Speaking on the commencement of services from the new 106,000 square foot facility in Richmond, Robert Johnson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Purolator said that “This new service enables Canadian businesses to eliminate steps from their global supply chain so that they can get their product to market faster and more efficiently and with greater visibility.”

Available anywhere in Canada where goods enter or leave the country, Purolator’s Global Supply Chain Services are aimed at eliminating the high costs, complexity and delays that can be typical of traditional supply chain networks.
