– USA, CO – OmniTRAX, one of the fastest-growing railroads in North America and an affiliate of The Broe Group, elected Cameron Scott Board Chair.
As businesses across the country quickly move to optimize supply chain efficiency, the benefits from rail are playing a vital role. To accelerate the adoption of rail-based supply chains, OmniTRAX is tapping Scott’s extensive Class 1 rail experience and resources – he most recently served as EVP and COO at Union Pacific.
OmniTRAX’s explosive growth was capped by a record-setting 2019 that saw the addition of three new rail properties. Global events present additional opportunities as customers across industries seek optimized supply chain efficiency and manufacturers explore onshoring strategies and increased domestic production. With 23 properties that interface with and service seven Class 1 railroads throughout North America, OmniTRAX delivers essential optimal supply chain connectivity.
“As our customers ramp up for increased demand consumption and new supply chain models, our focus is on growing carload volume to support those expanded needs, as well as investing in our assets and the communities we serve,” said CEO Kevin Shuba. “Cam’s record of optimizing rail operations and his extensive network of contacts provide the ideal guidance to meet the needs of a changing marketplace.”
Supply chain performance continues to be an OmniTRAX strength. Under Shuba’s leadership, first and last-mile service operations have been transformed and OmniTRAX customers are experiencing all-time highs in on-time service while the company continues to post all-time best safety metrics.
“OmniTRAX success lies in its world-class team, its dual commitment to service and safety and its unique capability to simplify rail for customers,” said Sean Broe, board member and second-generation owner. “By further integrating OmniTRAX into the Class 1 network, Cam will help the team expand our reach and deliver rail’s transformative supply chain efficiency to more customers.”
