Praxair selects Danzas North America to Manage U.S. Export Transportation

Praxair Inc., a supplier of industrial gases, has named Danzas North America the primary provider of transportation services for U.S. exports. “This agreement meets Praxair’s needs of capability and cost and gives us the capacity to grow our volume,” said Pete Mayer, Praxair’s Vice President of Global Procurement and Materials Management.

Under the agreement, Danzas North America will manage most of Praxair’s U.S. export shipping business, while Danzas locations in Europe, Asia and South America will be engaged in the future to support Praxair’s regional businesses.

This agreement dramatically expands the international logistics relationship between Praxair and Danzas. Danzas North America already manages the processing and clearance of Praxair’s worldwide U.S. imports. It also provides logistics support for Praxair’s large-scale overseas projects such as the construction of air separation plants.

“The new agreement is significant in that it broadens the geographic scope of our partnership and, for the first time, integrates transportation into our product offerings,” said Jack Bender, Manager, Business Development, Danzas North America’s eastern division. “Through the years, and through several organizational changes, our scalable business model has kept pace with Praxair’s global growth and its expanding logistics needs. Our integrated solutions are ideal for companies seeking an experienced partner to manage the supply chain challenges that come with doing business around the world.”
