Es war einer dieser Abende, an denen spürbar wird, was den FC Bayern ausmacht: eine Mannschaft, die nie aufgibt, Fans, die bis zur Heiserkeit alles geben, und ein Verein, der in den großen Momenten ganz eng zusammenrückt. Mit dieser Energie, diesem Glauben und diesem Zusammenhalt gehen wir nun ins Halbfinale der Champions League – gemeinsam mit unseren Fans. 🔴⚪ #MiaSanMia #FCBayern

Herbert Maertl liked thisHerbert Maertl liked thisWe recently celebrated a major milestone at QEP Australasia: Barry McGuire’s 10-year anniversary with the business. As General Manager, Barry has played a key role in leading QEP Australasia through a decade of significant change and growth. From the transition from QEP and the establishment of QEP Australasia under new ownership by Bruce Maclaren and Tony Lei, to the sale of Australian Flooring Supplies, the acquisition of PR Floors, and the implementation of NetSuite, Barry has helped guide the business with clarity, resilience, and a strong focus on solutions. Throughout it all, Barry has been a steady hand and a committed leader, always focused on moving the business forward while supporting the people behind it. Barry, thank you for 10 years of leadership, dedication, and impact at QEP Australasia. We appreciate everything you've contributed and look forward to what’s ahead. Please join us in congratulating Barry on this milestone and share a favourite memory of working with him in the comments.

Great panel from Jay Strother, Cameron Peel, Doug Sampson, and Rob Doyle at CSCMP on when to consider a 3PL partner for your supply chain. It all comes down to focusing on your core competencies. As with most things, warehousing may seem easy at the surface but once you dive in you’ll appreciate its complexities.

Mexico’s foreign-trade zones are drawing fresh attention from U.S. importers seeking a little breathing room from tariffs and rising costs. These FTZs—essentially duty-free zones—let companies store, process, or even manufacture goods before customs duties kick in. It’s a smart move in today’s climate of shifting trade rules and rising fees, especially for businesses managing nearshoring or cross-border operations. At the same time, global shipping is facing policy headwinds, with renewed debate around carbon taxes and trade tariffs on the horizon. For logistics providers, the message is clear: flexibility and compliance aren’t optional—they’re competitive advantages. That’s where Steam Logistics comes in. From FTZ entries and customs brokerage to cross-border drayage and full intermodal coverage, our international team helps shippers stay compliant, reduce costs, and keep cargo moving efficiently across every port, rail, and border. If you’re reassessing your import strategy or simply want to explore how an FTZ or cross-border solution could work for you, we’re ready to help you plan smarter for 2025 and beyond.
