Pilot Pen & Ryder
Pilot Pen does business in Mexico without dedicating major corporate assets to the market by relying on Ryder’s warehouse distribution services to distribute its Florida-made goods there. Pilot Pen relies on Ryder not just for warehouse storage and transportation, but also to distribute its writing instruments to retail stores in Mexico City and other major Mexico markets.
The pen manufacturer contracts with Ryder to select Mexican ground transportation carriers and to provide other operational support. Indeed, one of the most important services that Ryder provides Pilot Pen is its expertise in screening, selecting and monitoring Mexican motor freight carriers serving Mexico City.
Ensuring order execution is critical to keeping major customers and attracting new ones in Mexico. Holding down warehouse distribution costs in Mexico is critical to accelerating its growth there, so Pilot Pen works closely with Ryder to develop more efficient ways to do business.
