CEO Message
CBX Global has long been renowned for its strong partnerships and friendships with logistics companies worldwide. Year after year, our relationships flourish, driven by our commitment to positivity and transparent collaborations. This approach has strengthened our ties and allowed us to plant our flag in new territories, including China, Vietnam, Ireland, England, Germany, Belgium, Italy, India, Colombia, Panama, Peru, and more.
This year has been busy for CBX, especially for our commercial team. We participate in many events worldwide like the PRMA Convention, WCA Worldwide - Singapore, WCA Specialty Logistic Fair - Miami, Dominican Republic Forum and DR Free Trade Zone Congress, Florida International Medical Expo, Americas Food and Beverage Show, Health Industry Summit, SWIA Women, TALON 2023 Forum, Propeller Club and JAX Chamber events, NCBFAA, Apparel Show - Guatemala, China International Import Expo, AmCham, MIDA Conference, and much more all over the World. As usual, the list is more extensive, and our team raised the CBX Global flag very high. I want to thank the commercial team and CBX associates for their outstanding work at all these events.
Recently, as part of our global agency strategies, I was part of a CBX delegation at the WCA - Global Affinity Alliance meeting in Cartagena, Colombia. While I anticipated results like previous conferences, I was positively surprised by this event. Our amazing CBX team meticulously organized a structured plan to allow us time to have focused meetings with many outstanding agents from around the globe. This well-orchestrated effort has yielded tangible rewards – new business, partnerships, and prospects for further global expansion. I want to thank Mari Carmen De Choudens and Rodrigo Granados for their exceptional coordination. We have more events coming our way, including the massive 2024 13th WCA Worldwide Conference in Dubai, where we aim to showcase the breadth of CBX Global and foster new collaborations.
As you all know, we recently launched CBX Global Costa Rica. Thanks to the tireless efforts of our team, we've witnessed organic growth and are now fully equipped with a Consolidator License, ready to manifest cargo and des-consolidate BLs.

A side note,
I am grateful to be surrounded by many amazing people, friends, family, customers, vendors, agents, partners, and our great CBX team. At the same time, it is essential to mention the global situation we all live in. It is challenging to navigate the massive amount of information we get, including discouraging news.
We have many uncertainties and challenges, from war, geopolitical tensions, environmental concerns, financial changes, inflation, etc.; that is why I invite you to meditate about the good things we have around us, like family, friends, the beauty of nature, a walk barefoot and a simple smile. It is essential to appreciate that, most importantly, we have each other.
We must never forget that we can create the foundation for a collective positive change by promoting optimistic thinking, friendship, love, and empathy. Also, always spend time with nature, walk without shoes, go to the beach, talk with your friends, and enjoy the sun. Life is fragile, and we are not eternal …
As Helen Keller wisely said, "Alone, we can do so little; together, we can do so much."

CBX Global - Consolidation Services
At CBX Global, we understand the importance of efficient logistics in today's competitive business environment. Our team of experts is dedicated to providing tailored cargo consolidation solutions that meet specific needs and objectives. Whether it's a small business looking to reduce shipping costs or a large corporation aiming to enhance supply chain resilience, our consolidation services can help any company achieve their goals. Let us explain how.
Cargo consolidation is a logistics strategy that involves combining multiple smaller shipments into a single, larger shipment for transportation. With most companies looking to streamline their supply chain, reduce costs, and improve their logistics operations, this strategy offers several benefits and can strengthen various aspects of their supply chain and logistics operations. To name a few:
Cost efficiency: can lead to cost savings by reducing the number of individual shipments and optimizing transportation routes. This often results in lower transportation costs per unit of freight.
Improved Inventory Management: as it enables companies to hold fewer but larger shipments, reducing the need for extensive warehousing space.
Increased shipment manageability: more flexibility in shipping schedules and routes, as larger shipments may have more options for carriers and transportation modes.
Minimized risk of damage or loss: fewer shipments means less risk of cargo damage, loss, or theft, as there are fewer touchpoints and handling operations involved.
Better utilization of container space: consolidation ensures that containers are filled to capacity, reducing per-unit shipping costs.
Reduced transit times: consolidated cargo may have shorter transit times because it can often be prioritized and transported more efficiently compared to smaller, less time-sensitive shipments.
Simplified customs processes: customs documentation is typically easier to manage for fewer, larger shipments.
If you have any questions about how cargo consolidation can strengthen the supply chain or simply want to experience CBX Global's consolidation services, please contact us at sales@cbxglobal.com.
Our weekly consolidations include China, United States, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and Central America.
