TTL Equipment Management Enters United States Container Market

TTL Equipment Management, which in 2005 acquired the assets of Transamerica Trailer Leasing, has extended its global service to offer customers a complete range of new and resold containers worldwide.

The new service will provide a comprehensive range of ocean freight containers including standard dry, refrigerated and ISO tank containers for sale to meet international and regional needs.

"When our ownership changed last year, our management team and our investors envisaged this type of expansion," said CEO Andrew Atkins. "We have built a strong reputation for delivering a quality service and we are now looking to extend the services we provide to the market."

TTL has created three new divisions to cover Europe & Africa, Asia, and the Americas. For the US market, TTL has appointed F. Mitchell White as Vice President, Container Trading US, to oversee the operation.

Mr. White will run the operation from Houston, Texas and will use TTL's network to establish contact with new and existing customers to tailor the service to match their needs. "Many of our customers have previously asked about this type of facility so we know there is a demand for a quality-driven service," explained Mr. White. "What we are now doing is building on our existing knowledge and contacts to allow us to provide a fast, cost-effective service anywhere in the world." Mr White has extensive experience and over 30 years in the container industry. Prior to joining TTL, Mr White worked for TAL International's Trader division in Houston, Texas.

The US operation will work closely with Mr White's colleagues in Europe and Asia to co-ordinate localised and cross-regional business.

TTL continues to develop and grow by delivering industry-leading customer service and expertise.
