Alison Leavitt, Managing Director of WSSA, will be a featured speaker at the annual Cargo Logistics America Conference in San Diego, CA, December 2 -3, 2015.

"Cargo Logistics America addresses the needs of cargo owners, managers and agents who contract the flow of goods through American supply chains. CLA encompasses the entire cargo spectrum – all major transportation modes and all cargo types, under one roof. If your company has a supply chain that runs through America – you will want to attend".

WSSA will be at stand B38 at the 7th annual World Bulk Wine Exhibition (WBWE) being held in Amsterdam on November 23-24, 2015. The WBWE has grown another 15% this year with wineries from 19 countries including Germany, Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Chile, USA, France, Italy, Portugal, South Africa, and Spain. The fair brings together virtually all of the bulk wine producing and exporting countries. WSSA continues to handle an increasing volume of flexis and isotanks and we look forward to seeing many of our current customers as well as new shippers at the event.
