Logistics & Transportation
Success in today’s fast-paced marketplace often depends on who can deliver their goods the most efficiently. You must have streamlined, effective means to receive the raw materials you need and to ship products to your customers.
According to the Porter Study, conducted by Michael Porter of Harvard University, Georgia has the fourth largest logistics hub in the United States. The report cites that the ranking is a result of the state’s Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International, outstanding road infrastructure and port facilities.
Georgia’s logistics and transportation industries provide an unparalleled infrastructure that not only saves time and money, it provides a solid backbone for competing in an increasingly global marketplace. Businesses can reach 80 percent of the U.S. market within two hours flight time, and any major North American city in four hours flight time. International flights reach 45 cities and 30 countries, making the world’s business centers easily accessible. Hartsfield-Jackson is also the world’s leading air cargo center, handling more than 900,000 tons of goods each year.
Georgia companies have another gateway to the world through the state-of-the-art deepwater ports in Savannah and Brunswick. Operated by the Georgia Ports Authority, they are the fifth largest in the country and serve as south Atlantic’s premier auto-processing facility. Combined with inland barge operations in Bainbridge and Columbus, these waterways accelerate the pace of commerce.
Back on solid ground, Georgia again has you covered with CSX Transportation and Norfolk Southern Corporation, who offer comprehensive rail service throughout the state and the nation.
Georgia has built an unsurpassed logistics and transportation network that enables you to not only move your products quickly and efficiently, but do so while beating the competition.
