Phoenix offers us excellent proximity to our dealer network, which enhances our ability to serve customers more efficiently. Maersk’s deep knowledge of our business and rapid execution in establishing the new location has helped us drive forward on key aspects of our regional business strategy.
We are privileged to support Honda’s growth in an expanding market. Our distribution centers are a key node in the global chain of services we are able to provide to Honda, from ocean shipping and landside transportation to contract logistics. We look forward to honoring the relationship we have built over the years through reliable execution of services and delivering exceptional value, day in and day out, for years to come.
The Maersk Contract Logistics Team activated operations at the Phoenix site within just 90 days of the December 2023 contract award.
