Philadelphia, PA, 07/25/2023 – CLX Logistics, LLC (CLX), a global provider of chemical transportation management solutions, supply chain consulting, and intermodal transportation, is excited to announce the opening of a new office in Houston, Texas. This strategic expansion aims to tap into Houston’s significant presence in the chemical industry and robust transportation networks, providing an ideal hub for strategic growth in the chemical industry.

Houston, known as the “Energy Capital of The World,” offers tremendous market potential and growth opportunities in the chemical shipping space. The region’s vast petrochemical complexes, sizeable industrial portal via the Houston Ship Channel, and numerous refineries and distribution centers promise a thriving environment for CLX’s innovative services. From the new Houston office, CLX provides various chemical logistics solutions, including international, air, ocean, intermodal, and rail, supported by an in-house brokerage team.

David Vieira, CEO of CLX, sees the Houston expansion as an excellent opportunity to augment their market presence and offerings. “We’re eager to tap into the top logistics talent available in Houston,” said Mr. Vieira. “Our goal is to further solidify our existing industry relationships and stimulate growth by bringing more high-quality individuals into the CLX Logistics team.”

The strategic location of the Houston office facilitates deeper engagement with the local chemical community, including alliances with organizations like the Houston Chemical Association and the Houston Transportation Organization. The heightened demand for chemical products and transportation services in the region aligns perfectly with CLX’s unique offerings, setting the stage for developing long-lasting relationships and growing existing partnerships.

In the face of numerous challenges across the US, Houston continues to experience economic growth, which CLX is eager to contribute to. “Houston’s thriving economy, driven by the energy sector, provides a solid foundation for our new office,” said Matt Caine, VP of Sales and head of the Huston office. “This new expansion contributes to a stable environment conducive to the success of both the petrochemical industry and CLX Logistics.”

The new Houston office signifies a significant landmark in CLX’s growth trajectory and commenced operations on June 19th, 2023.
