U.S. Shippers Association to use GT Nexus

   GT Nexus said the U.S. Shippers Association (USSA) will use its supply chain platform.
   USSA contracts for about 50,000 TEUs of ocean freight per year. Member companies include manufacturing industry leaders such as Air Products, Amcol International, Llyondell-Basell, FMC Corp., Guardian, Phibro, Rhodia, Sekisui, and Solvay.
   “Our members are all very large, global companies that work together on common supply chain issues,” said Mark E. Davis, global supply chain manager at FMC Corp.’s Lithium Division.
   He said GT Nexus’ “cloud technology is an ideal solution for us because it supports business collaboration between our members and partners in a way that could never be done before. We are now all operating against a ‘single version of truth’ information model, which is very powerful when applied across a large global network like ours.”
