Flagler Global Logistics is a Coral Gables, Florida-based company that offers integrated third-party logistics, supply chain management solutions, and is the state's largest developer of industrial real estate. As a direct lineal descendant of the railroad and land development companies founded by pioneering American businessman Henry M. Flagler, Flagler Global Logistics owns a number of key strategic assets throughout Florida. This includes a portfolio of well-located Florida land with rail, seaport and airport connectivity suitable for industrial development. A wholly owned subsidiary of Florida East Coast Industries the company was originally incorporated as South Florida Logistics Services before changing its name in 2013. == History == Flagler Global Logistics can trace its roots back to the original railroad and land development company founded by Henry M. Flagler in 1892. Flagler, who helped found Standard Oil, saw Florida’s tourism potential and built a network of rail lines, depots, and associated infrastructure that eventually extended all the way from Jacksonville to Key West. As Florida’s east coast was still lightly-settled, Flagler was able to obtain wide swaths of land up and down the coast, including large tracts of property in what became Miami. After a long bankruptcy that began in 1931, Florida East Coast Railway was purchased by the Alfred I. duPont Testamentary Trust and operated as part of the St. Joe Company. In 1983 St. Joe’s incorporated FOXX Holdings, which became the parent company of both FECR and the railroad’s new real estate arm, Flagler Development Company. FOXX was renamed Florida East Coast Industries in April 2000. In 2007, FECI was purchased by Fortress Investment for $3.5 billion, and shortly afterwards, Florida East Coast Railway was spun off into a separate and distinct company from FECI. To better take advantage of its strategic land holdings, and provide scalable third-party logistics, FECI established South Florida Logistics Services as an LLC in Delaware in April 2013. The company officially incorporated in the state of Florida in May 2013. In November 2013, the company underwent a rebranding and changed its name from South Florida Logistics Services to Flagler Global Logistics. The company said it made this move to reflect its “growing global scale…while linking back to our rich Florida and real estate development heritage established under the recognized Flagler brand.” 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Flagler Global Logistics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
