Pine Brook, NJ, September 15, 2009 - Flash Global, the global leader in single source supply chain solutions for mission critical parts and products, today announced a network increase of 59 locations in Russia, including Importer and Exporter of Record (IOR/EOR) expertise, to satisfy significant growth and technological demand in the Russian market.  The logistics leader acts in advance to provide infrastructure support for increasingly critical client needs for strategic service logistics in the region.

"Russia is one of the most important emerging markets today," says Philippe Jadoul, VP International, Flash Global.  "With rapid corporate growth of 20-50% last year, prior to recent projections of economic contraction, demand for material movement due to technological expansion in the area requires strong after sales strategy.  Strategic service logistics providers are responsible for ensuring that their clients receive the 99.9% service levels to which they've become accustomed elsewhere, in this emerging market.  Flash Global is excited to provide mission critical logistics in both major and emerging global markets and to assist our clients by engineering solutions for their sustainable growth and expansion."

According to industry experts, Russia will be one of the major markets to consider in the coming years, as the region is evolving more quickly compared with the parallel changes that occurred in North America and Western Europe.  To meet these considerations, Flash has expanded its capabilities to 59 locations in Russia, as well as having established strong professional relationships locally to enable correct and transparent cross-border operations, thus helping clients ensure compliance to in-country requirements.

Additionally, Flash maintains IOR/EOR relationships for clients in 85 countries worldwide.
