Houston, Texas, 19 August 2010 – CEVA Logistics, one of the world’s leading supply chain companies, today announced that it has launched a new, expedited surface freight service between the Gulf Coast and Alberta, Canada for its energy customers. This new international service, named Alberta Express, will offer CEVA’s world-class freight forwarding processes and systems to deliver a faster, more reliable and more efficient transit time option for their energy customers operating across borders.


CEVA currently offers an international freight service from Mexico to Ontario transporting more than half a million kilos per month. CEVA’s customers recognized the success of the service as well as the importance of the Gulf coast to Alberta lane and reacted quickly to roll out this new cross-border solution.

CEVA’s Alberta Express service gives customers the ability to grow their business, consolidate vendors and maintain efficiencies all from a single provider.


“We pride ourselves in being able to offer flexible, fully integrated solutions to our customers,” explained Bruce Hulings, CEVA’s Vice President, Energy Services. “The market has changed drastically over the past two years and by offering this international service for our energy customers that’s supported by CEVA’s own facilities in the Gulf Coast and Alberta, we can truly become a one-stop solution.”
