Northern Nevada continues to make a name for itself as a logistics hub for the manufacturing and distribution companies.
The market has grown to include both domestic and international companies, sourcing product from, and feeding product to, the world.
As an international port with a regional U.S.
customs office, companies can easily move international cargo into and out of the region.
Though the majority of these shipments move via major U.S.
gateway cities, the surface and air infrastructure linking northern Nevada to these gateways provides for the seamless movement of product through the supply chain.
In addition, the region offers companies the ability to set up operations within one of its many Foreign Trade Zone designated properties.
Companies operating in northern Nevada share all the advantages of companies in the major international gateway cities like Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay area, but do not share the disadvantages of working in a business-unfriendly environment.
Reno is an international port providing all the necessary infrastructure and logistics support services necessary to navigate U.S.
Customs and the needs of international companies.
