Buffalo,
New York - January 10, 2002 -
PBB Global Logistics is joining with
the World Trade Center Buffalo Niagara
(WTCBN) in hosting a special in-depth
workshop entitled "Doing Business
in China." Participants can learn
about the benefits and pitfalls of
doing business in China, thanks to
an expert panel of speakers including
Mike Scott, President and CEO, PBB
Global Logistics; Dr. John Thomas,
Associate Dean, School of Management,
SUNY Buffalo; and Robert Skowronski,
Vice-President of Materials and Foreign
Business Development, Eastman Machine
Company.
This
unique workshop is offered free of charge
on Thursday, January 17 from 8:30 to 11:30
a.m. at PBB Global Logistics' US Headquarters
on 670 Young Street, Tonawanda, NY. All interested
participants must RSVP by January 13, 2002
by phone at 716-852-7160 or email at cboncore@wtcbn.org
PBB's
substantial connections and long-standing
record of success in Asia - and particularly
in the Chinese market - make it a natural
choice to host this special event.
"PBB
has been doing business in China for more
than a decade," explains Mike Scott,
President and CEO, PBB Global Logistics. "We've
learned that to succeed there, you need the
knowledge and assistance of experienced professionals
with a proven track record in that country.
This workshop is just one of many initiatives
our company has undertaken to cultivate and
solidify our success in Asia."
One
of PBB's most popular initiatives is its
upcoming China: Trade Mission 2002 - an annual
business delegation to China. During this
15-day, 6-city mission, North American firms
have the unique opportunity to meet one-on-one
with high-level buyers, suppliers, distributors
and manufacturers, strategically selected
from across China to match their business
needs. In the past, participating companies
have made valuable business contacts and
many participants continue to reap the benefits
from previous missions.
PBB
also offers Access China, a program for North
American companies interested in doing business
in China. Access China provides sourcing
assistance, giving participants access to
a broad network of business specialists with
expertise in local market research, corporate
law, translation, insurance and other specialized
needs.
This
is a particularly opportune time for North
American companies looking to establish a
presence in China. With China's rapidly expanding
market and recent entry into the World Trade
Organization, new business opportunities
are developing at an incredible pace.
PBB
Global Logistics employs more than 1,000
people in 70 locations throughout North America.
It offers fully integrated global logistics
services including: International Freight
Forwarding, Customs Brokerage, Warehousing & Distribution,
North American Shipping, Trade & Regulatory
Services, Corporate Audit, Parcel Logistics,

a North American network of automated facilities
and world-wide strategic alliances.
