CentrePort Canada Seeks To Be The Center of North American Trade

Online, July 30, 2010 (Newswire.com) - (San Diego, CA)-In an interview with Supply Chain Digital, Dianne Grey, President and CEO of CentrePort Canada discusses the background and future developments of Canada's first foreign trade zone.

"We have many transportation assets and a very significant geographic advantage, which allowed policy makers and business leaders to come together to develop a vision of how we capitalize on those two components to attract interest and investment by the types of companies who manage their bottom line through strong supply chain activities," says Dianne Grey, President and CEO of CentrePort Canada.

CentrePort takes advantage of Winnipeg's prime trading location between two rivers and three rail lines. The area has traditionally been a hub for trade between Canada and the United States; CentrePort seeks to make it the trading center of all of North America.
