    WEST PALM BEACH, FL, March 10, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Florida State Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (FSHCC) announces a new strategic alliance with UPS, the world's largest package delivery company and a global leader in logistics services. The two firms have teamed up to offer Florida small-to-mid-sized Hispanic businesses a suite of turnkey transportation solutions that provide reliable, affordable and easily accessible point-to-point logistics support for companies, regardless of size or industry.

"UPS brings a wealth of logistics management knowledge to the table. Sharing that knowledge with the Hispanic business community gives Latino businesses in Florida a competitive edge in the marketplace," said Julio Fuentes, President and CEO of FSHCC. "They've also put together a spectrum of discounts and incentives for our statewide business community."

As the global marketplace continues to flourish and as more U.S.-based Hispanics and Latinos are starting businesses every year, the demand for calculated logistics management is a critical element to the success of any company.
