MIAMI, March 12, 2024 (VSNewsNetwork.com) - WTDC, a family-owned logistics firm, commemorated its 47th anniversary on March 8th, highlighting its journey to becoming a key player in global logistics and Foreign Trade Zone Warehousing for the Duty Free and Travel Retail industry. The Miami-based company has built its reputation on a foundation of family, faith, and community engagement since its establishment in 1977.
Reflecting on the company's evolution and the role of family in its success, Sean Gazitua, President & CEO of WTDC, shared, “Our family was running a successful freight forwarding business called Florida International Forwarders (FIF) at the time of WTDC's founding in 1977. My father Ralph, my uncle John, and my grandfather Luis Rafael (LR) Gazitua fostered a generation of logistics professionals in Miami and set a high bar for us to follow.” The Gazitua family's legacy in the logistics industry is commemorated at the Florida Foreign Trade Association (FFTA) Pioneers monument at PortMiami.
Under Gazitua's leadership, WTDC has expanded its services to include bonded warehousing, customs brokerage, and transportation licenses, becoming a Foreign Trade Zone in 2012. This expansion has enabled WTDC to offer consultancy services for other companies looking to navigate Foreign Trade Zone regulations.
Gazitua emphasized the importance of the company's workforce in achieving its long-term success, stating, “So many factors have contributed to our growth over the last 47 years but none have been more important than the efforts of our employees.” He further highlighted the company's guiding philosophy, “Our family philosophy on a work-life balance with a higher purpose evolved to what we call the company’s 4 pillars: God and Family, Health and Education, Community, and WTDC. With these priorities in order, we believe our employees can better themselves and provide better customer service.”
