Air & Ocean rebrands to become Peters & May USA Inc.
CHICAGO, Ill. – UK-based marine logistics provider Peters & May Ltd. has established Peters & May USA Inc. following the re-branding of Air & Ocean Shipping, Inc., it reported in a recent statement.
Peters & May said it took a majority stake in the Chicago-based company in July 2007 and the recent announcement consolidates the company’s global branding.
The 10-person team is headed by 31-year-old Dave Holley, who has extensive experience in international boat shipping and logistics, according to the company. He has previously held senior positions in three of Peters & May’s global network of offices (Dubai, Spain and the UK).
“While the business in Chicago has always supplied professional logistics solutions to U.S. manufacturers and individual boat owners, it is important that it is now established as part of the Peters & May worldwide operation,” said Peters & May Global Managing Director and CEO Jan Rydgren-Knudsen. “By changing the name to Peters & May USA, the marine industry at large will be clear that the U.S. operation forms part of a global network of own offices and strategic partners working in more than 150 ports in 60 countries.”
