      Hub Group, Inc. and Grupo TMM have announced an operating partnership between Hub Group and TMM Logistics, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Grupo TMM.

      The agreement creates a joint network to manage freight moving between Canada , the United States and Mexico . It calls for TMM Logistics to provide all sales support and operational execution within Mexico and Hub Group to furnish the same capabilities in Canada and the United States . A newly formed division of Hub Group, called Hub Mexico , will provide joint marketing, door-to-door oversight and coordination as well as pricing support.

      The TMM/Hub partnership integrates various modes of transportation with a seamless logistical process to create customized cross-border transportation solutions. TMM Logistics occupies a unique position in the Mexican market, being the ideal link between railways, roads and ports as well as linking many of the main cities and production centers of the country.  Hub Group operates more than 30 offices throughout the U.S. and Canada , offering a complete range of intermodal, highway, railcar and logistics services.

      Gerardo Primo, General Director of TMM Logistics said, “The joining together of Hub Group and TMML is a logical extension of our mission to solve, through teamwork and door-to-door solutions with a multi-modal personalized focus, the specific transportation and logistics need of our customers. Today, within Mexico , we serve many Mexican National companies as well as a number of Mexican subsidiaries of U.S. companies.  We are most anxious to expand our services and our geographic reach and to give our customers and partners more and better alternatives. Hub Group provides us with the infrastructure to accomplish that goal, but even more importantly their culture complements ours. This is what will make us successful together.” 

      Hub’s President and COO, Thomas L Hardin stated, “Hub Group has done business in Mexico for more than 20 years.  While we are pleased with what we have been able to accomplish, joining forces with TMM Logistics takes us to a new level.  Both TMM Logistics and Hub Group are leading providers of logistics and transportation services in their respective countries. Bringing together each company’s marketplace presence and integrating our execution capabilities on each side of the border creates a tremendous opportunity to provide truly seamless transportation for both Mexican and U. S. customers.”

      To and from the United States to Mexico and any point within Mexico , HUB-TMML provides seamless service.

      Shippers simply place their order with HUB/TMML and the company handles the rest.
