Episode 11: Today, Dr. Omar Ayyash, President and CEO of the World Trade Center Kentucky interviews Miguel A. Zamora II. He’s the Vice President of the Louisville Riverport Authority. The discussion will focus on how the Louisville Riverport’s Foreign Trade Zone #29 can significantly lower or eliminate cost, reduce paperwork and streamline Customs operations.
Meet Miguel Zamora
Miguel and Omar have known each other for many years. They first met while Miguel was leading the Derby Industry’s Distribution Center at General Electric’s Appliance Park. This is where he became involved in imports, exports and the foreign trade zone. He has a background in supply chain management and manufacturing. That experience eventually lead to an opportunity to work for the Louisville Riverport Authority.
The Louisville Riverport Authority has companies located on its premises. They take advantage of moving goods via barges and rail infrastructure. Interestingly, the Louisville Riverport Authority is also the Grantee for Foreign Trade Zone #29.
At the end of the day, the Louisville Riverport Authority’s Foreign Trade Zone #29 is here to help Kentucky companies to improve their existing business or bring new business to Kentucky.
