Ryder<br />
Ryder made an important decision 10 years ago when its Lat<strong>in</strong> American operations were less than $10 million. It put Gene Sevilla <strong>in</strong><br />
charge of the operation. He surrounded himself with good people <strong>and</strong> built the Lat<strong>in</strong> America operation <strong>in</strong>to one of Ryder’s best. The ball<br />
really got roll<strong>in</strong>g after the meltdown of Argent<strong>in</strong>a’s economy <strong>in</strong> 2002. Revenues for that year were $92 million. We estimate that 2007 year<br />
end revenues will be $310 million. Revenues have <strong>in</strong>creased 327%. The compound annual growth rate is 27.5%. Mexico <strong>and</strong> Brazil are<br />
paramount. Each has over $100 million <strong>in</strong> revenue.<br />
As a result of Sevilla <strong>and</strong> his team’s efforts, Ryder is now one of the three largest third-party logistics providers (3PLs) <strong>in</strong> Lat<strong>in</strong> America<br />
<strong>and</strong> is the fastest grow<strong>in</strong>g. Services offered are value-added warehous<strong>in</strong>g <strong>and</strong> distribution (VAWD) <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g manufactur<strong>in</strong>g support, nifty<br />
variations of dedicated contract carriage (DCC), transportation management, <strong>and</strong> some returns management.<br />
A Sevilla trademark is design<strong>in</strong>g operations to match up with customer requirements. As seasoned observers know when third-party<br />
logistics is done right, profitability <strong>in</strong>creases. Not surpris<strong>in</strong>gly, Ryder’s Lat<strong>in</strong> American operations are among its most profitable. The home<br />
office for Lat<strong>in</strong> America is <strong>in</strong> Miami.<br />
