Message from Flash Global Logistics’ CEO, Jim van Leenen

July, 2011 “Our strategic vision has become reality...

Welcome to the Flash website. With excitement, we enter the third quarter of 2011. This excitement, fueled by technological innovation, creation of industry partnerships, best in class operational performance, and breaking down the barriers of global geography, is shared by our clients, their customers, our partners and the entire supply chain market. As a global leading service provider for end to end mission critical service parts logistics solutions, Flash has been closing the gap between our strategic vision and reality - executing in the present with an eye on the future of our industry.

Flash determined long ago not to be a spectator in the global mission critical service parts logistics space. Global market trends and the business goals of our clients and their customers (end users) required a global player. But rather than simply be a player, Flash did the analysis and communicated with the market, developed the infrastructure, strategized ahead of the curve and executed against a plan to be a leader in difficult markets - creating leadership opportunities for clients to gain competitive advantage in their industries: providing new sales channels in tough markets, creating revenue streams out of aftersales challenges, improving customer satisfaction ratings through improved deployment of capital intensive inventories. Flash evaluated the pain points the market and our clients were experiencing, and determined to not only address and solve them - but provide means to be able to leverage them as opportunities.

Planning the most comprehensive end to end service parts logistics solution in Brazil was a challenge. It became a reality in 2009. Developing equivalent solutions in all of Latin America was our next step. That became reality in 2010. We are proud of Flash’s flexible and customized distribution solutions throughout Brazil and all of Latin America. The phenomenal upside for Flash and our clients in the market causes us to continue monitoring trends in other global emerging and/or tough markets, where we will replicate scalable solutions to provide competitive advantage to our clients - this is our future and the future of our industry. I will continue to communicate messages that will reflect the progress of Flash in response to market trends and that will reflect the new realities that Flash is creating.”

For more than a quarter of a century, Flash has provided global service delivery capability for aftermarket and critical parts distribution.
