Chemical manufacturer OXEA has selected Uber Freight as its strategic logistics provider across the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Europe, consolidating its regional transportation operations into a more unified global network. Houston-based OXEA said Uber Freight will manage day-to-day transportation execution across truckload, rail and ocean freight, using technology, data and logistics services to provide greater visibility across its supply chain. The agreement represents Uber Freight's first managed transportation engagement designed from the outset to span the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Europe, according to the companies. OXEA manufactures oxo intermediates and oxo performance chemicals, employs more than 1,200 people and sells chemicals in more than 60 countries. The partnership replaces a more regionally segmented approach to transportation management with an integrated operation connecting OXEA's plants, carriers and customers, and Uber Freight said the cross-border component adds complexity involving multiple modes, carriers and regulatory environments.
