‘Together, we are building on JAXPORT’s role as a gateway to Florida and the U.S. Southeast.’
Northeast Florida’s preeminent port is trumpeting enhanced export-import business to start the week.
JAXPORT[1] says Enstructure Auto Logistics[2] has inked new deals with Mazda North America and Toyota Logistics to “provide finished vehicle logistics” at Talleyrand by the end of the year.
“Mazda and Toyota have been valued JAXPORT customers for decades and are two of our longest-standing automotive partners,” said JAXPORT CEO Eric Green.
“We are pleased to see them continue to grow their businesses in Jacksonville by leveraging Enstructure’s capabilities, which further strengthens our position as one of the nation’s top vehicle-handling ports. Together, we are building on JAXPORT’s role as a gateway to Florida and the U.S. Southeast, one of the nation’s fastest-growing automotive markets.”
Enstructure, which leases 114 acres at Talleyrand under an agreement running through 2054, notes the deals “establish EAL as Mazda’s premier port processor in the southeast region for imports from Japan and Mexico and ensure a seamless transition for TLS’s shipments bound for Puerto Rico.”
Co-CEOs Matthew Satnick and Philippe De Montigny herald a “best-in-class finished vehicle logistics business” as “a strategic priority for Enstructure,” with the two new deals representing a “major step” in that direction, developing domestic and international supply chains.
Mazda is also excited.
“With record sales volume last year, Mazda continues to grow its presence in the U.S. and is committed to optimizing our logistics network to serve our customers and dealers,” said Ryan Kita, Mazda’s Director of Supply Chain Management. “The transition to the Enstructure Talleyrand facility aligns with our long-term strategic goals and supports continued operational excellence in the Southeast region.”
