In addition to the financing, RoadEx utilizes a full suite of Pacific Mercantile Bank’s depository products and treasury management services.
Founded in 2001, RoadEx provides logistics services including asset-based port drayage, interstate shipment deliveries, warehousing, and domestic and export consolidation. Through its network of partnerships with large carriers, RoadEx is able to offer customers cost-effective means for interstate shipment deliveries. Whether RoadEx delivers with its own fleet or with its partners, RoadEx offers the right regional and interstate delivery solutions.
“Since our founding, we have successfully fulfilled our mission to provide complete logistics solutions to a loyal customer base that appreciates our commitment to reliability, integrity and eco-friendly equipment and technology,” said Nicholas Sim, President of RoadEx America. “We outgrew our previous banking relationship and looked at other banks that could finance our working capital needs and support our continued growth. We were impressed with Pacific Mercantile Bank’s flexibility in tailoring a credit facility to meet our needs, and their Horizon Analytics® tool provided insight into our growth strategy that other banks couldn’t offer.”
“RoadEx is a great success story that has gone from a company with a single bobtail truck at its founding to a complete logistics solutions provider with a large and growing customer base,” said Rob Parks, Senior Vice President at Pacific Mercantile Bank. “We are excited to begin working with RoadEx and help support its plans for continued growth and success.”
