Adisseo North America becomes Adisseo North and Central America
Adisseo recently reorganized its North America Region, creating the North and Central America Region and maintaining regional headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, under the management of Guy Harari. The scope and organization of services to Central America and the Caribbean remain intact. Jorge Elizalde remains the regional manager for Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean, with his office in Guadalajara, Mexico.
Adisseo customers will benefit from the reorganization, according to Regional Manager Guy Harari. “It takes advantage of the closer proximity of the Atlanta regional headquarters to Mexico and optimizes the services we are currently providing from Atlanta to Mexico. In addition, the reorganization more closely aligns Adisseo with the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and promises additional synergies.”
Included in the newly created North and Central Region of Adisseo are the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. Included in Central American are Guatemala, El Salvador, the Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, and Belize. Included in the Caribbean are Cuba, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago, and Barbados.
