A Magnet for the Global Supply Chain Companies

A strategic location for serving the Americas, unsurpassed air, sea and data connections, and a skilled multicultural workforce are among the key reasons trade and logistics companies choose Miami-Dade for their regional or global facilities.  Ryder Systems, Inc., which was founded in Miami more than 75 years ago, is currently a Fortune 500 company with advanced logistics services that cover the globe.

Companies from virtually every region of the world are represented in Miami-Dade’s international trade and logistics community.
