Business Plan

The global trade market continues to create tremendous opportunity along the U.S. – Mexico border in the customer supply chain; integrity linked solutions. Year-over-year growth of U.S. ocean imports transiting through South Texas destined for a Mexico maquila continues to rise. Ocean mode exports of finished goods, coming out of Mexico to transit the U.S., also continues to increase as Mexico enters into more free trade agreements for sell of finished goods destined for the best selected ocean port of export. CTC’s dedication to customer service and process improvement for established customers brought forth the introduction of expanding services into the international arena, specifically in ocean container and shipment handling to support the demand for quality service and professionalism.
