Logistics & Borders
The supply chain assets of the Great Lakes are pivotal to the competitive position of manufacturers in the global economy. Our region is recognized worldwide for its trade corridors and supply chain expertise. Our bi-national geographic location and borders represent major opportunities for continued development of competitive advantage. The Council is dedicated to mapping the region’s logistics assets and resources, to providing best practices in traversing the Canadian/U.S. borders, and to helping build small and mid-size manufacturers’ export/import expertise.
