Interstate to work with DHL

St. Petersburg-based Interstate Transport Inc. has partnered with DHL, a division of Germany's Deutsche Post, and Miami-based Trans World Forwarding Inc. to connect North, Central, and South America with shipping services.

Specifically, the three companies will deliver perishable goods to clients throughout the Americas.

Tim Higham, CEO at Interstate Transport, explained that the partnership offered a new degree of simplicity to perishables buyers. “For the first time ever,” Higham says in a release, “wholesalers and retailers can buy perishables direct from any Latin American country, irrespective of location, and deal with one person right through the final delivery in North America.”

Interstate Transport was featured on the Inc. 5000 list after growing revenue by nearly 375% between 2004 and 2008, from $4.8 million to $22.8 million.
