Danzas North America Announces Key Personnel Changes in Canada

Hugh McMaster Named Director of Ocean Freight, Projects; Troy Cowen Appointed District Manager, Vancouver

Newark, NJ (September 3, 2002) -- Danzas North America today announced key personnel changes in its Canadian operations. Hugh McMaster, a 23-year veteran of the Canadian maritime industry, has been named Director of Ocean and Projects, Canada. In addition, Troy Cowen, who has spent more than a decade in the Canadian transport field, was named District Manager, Vancouver.

McMaster joined Danzas from Hapag-Lloyd (Canada), where he spent the last 11 years as general manager, Ontario. During that time, McMaster directed sales, import-export operations, customer service and accounting functions.

Cowen joined Danzas four years ago, and was most recently ocean import manager based in Toronto. Prior to joining Danzas, Cowen ran his own Toronto-based freight forwarding company focusing on trade lanes linking Canada and the Asia-Pacific region.

"The marketplace has responded favorably to our integrated logistics solutions," said Donna Letterio, Country Manager, Canada. "Customers have been especially excited about our Cargo Management Services vendor management program, which provides purchase order and import consolidation services for U.S.-based retailers and manufacturers who work with multiple vendors throughout Asia. Hugh's expertise in ocean services and Troy's skills in cultivating new opportunities on trans-Pacific trade lanes will be critical in helping us build on our momentum."
