Mission Statement LMA is organized to provide networking opportunities while representing and promoting manufacturing, logistics and related services in the Los Dos Laredos Communities.

Organization In 1984, the Laredo Manufacturers Association was formed. It has been structured and organized to become a viable resource to the communities of Los Dos Laredos. The membership is active in various committees. These committees include: By-laws, Directory/Membership, Scholarship Maquiladoras, Scholarship, Special Affairs and the Annual Symposium. In February of 2007 the Laredo Manufacturers Association merged with the Laredo Transportation Association and formed Logistics & Manufacturing Association Port Laredo. Our membership interfaces with other civic organizations such as the Laredo Chamber of Commerce, Laredo Development Foundation, Laredo Licensed U.S. Customers Brokers Association, Asociación de Agentes Aduanales, and the Nuevo Laredo Industrial Development Committee. Also many local, state and federal agencies and officials should be included here, but are too numerous to mention. This synergism has provided the membership and our business community with better answers and solutions to common problems. A prime example of this was the work done by these organizations to open the World Trade Bridge for extended hours of service, which was accomplished in January 2009.

Annual Scholarship Fund Golf Tournament Since 1993 the LMA has sponsored an annual golf tournament. This event in currently held at the beautiful Laredo Country Club the first Monday of November. The current format is a two-man scramble with a shotgun start, which leads to the fun. We have many companies who sponsor this event. In 2007 , which was the first year after the merger of LMA and LTA, under the chairmanship of Carlos S. Garcia , we had a record number of 42 sponsors. Every year we try to add to the interest and fun of this event through the addition of contests such as longest drive, straightest drive and closest to the pin. This coming year’s co-chairpersons are Carlos S. Garcia, from Pacer Stacktrain and Michael O’Donnell from Caterpillar. The annual golf tournament is the main source of income for our scholarship program. Currently we provide ten worthy Laredo students with $1,000 scholarships to attend the college or university of their choice, as long as it is in the state of Texas. The recipients of these scholarships have declared that they are planning for a degree in engineering, manufacturing or business. The “Yes” Camp program from the Texas Center For Border Economics & Enterprise Development is another recipient of funds raised through our golf tournaments. The past several years we have donated $5,000 annually to help support this youth entrepreneurship program. We look forward to another great golf tournament with plans to continue this tradition for many years to come. If you have not joined the fun in past years, please consider your opportunity to participate.

History of the Laredo Manufacturers Association The history of the LMA reflects the growth of manufacturing and logistics in South Texas and northern Mexico during the past three decades. This economic expansion, on both sides of the Rio Grande, has brought not only monetary rewards but also an infusion of new ideas and added vitality to the Laredo community. The LMA merged with the Laredo Transportation Association in 2007 and has become the Logistics and Manufacturing Association (LMA) of Port Laredo. Since its founding in 1984, the LMA has grown from the original 17 members to over a hundred persons representing a cross section of industry, transportation, academic, and support services. Starting with an initial scholarship fund of $1000 in 1988, the LMA has encouraged engineering and technical careers with over $200,000 in scholarships, as well as establishing a $100,000 endowment scholarship fund at Texas A&M International University. The LMA has also given significant support to high school math and pre-engineering programs, and has financially supported the “YES” camp at TAMIU which provides enterprise training for high school juniors. The LMA, in 1986, was also the first sponsor of Junior 14 L M A M e m b e r s h i p D i r e c t o r y 2 0 0 9

Achievement of Laredo. In 1990, a committee structure was formed to address customs, environmental, maquiladora, transportation, and other areas of concern to members. The LMA’s maquiladora committee has worked closely with manufacturers in Nuevo Laredo to promote industrial growth and success. In 1994, the first LMA Symposium was launched to bring to Laredo international experts to discuss environmental, manufacturing, logistics, government regulations, and economic development topics. The Symposium rapidly expanded to include the Laredo Development Foundation, TAMIU, and others in sponsoring these 2 to 3 days events, which have attracted participants from many U.S. states and Mexico. Through the years, the LMA has worked with federal, state, county, city, and Mexican government officials to promote infrastructure projects such as the four-lane expansion of the Mines Road to the Columbia Bridge, the Loop 20 project, and the establishment of a 24/7 international bridge opened in 2009. The idea of creating an organization focused on manufacturing was first made by Laredo Mayor Aldo Tatangelo at a meeting with eight local businessmen on March 16, 1984. Tatangelo felt it

LMA Membership Directory 2009

was critical to form a local association that manufacturers, looking to locate in the Laredo area, could identify with. The Mayor also wanted the proposed organization to work on improving vocational and technical education in Laredo. The organizing meeting was sponsored jointly by the Laredo Chamber of Commerce and the Laredo Development Foundation. To form such a manufacturers association, David C. Leyendecker, representing the chamber, and Edward C. Sherwood, representing the LDF, were assigned to make the mayor's concept a reality. Leyendecker and Sherwood made plans for an initial meeting of the Laredo Manufacturers Association to be held on May 8, 1984. Both men kept busy calling prospective members. There were only 26 companies with manufacturing operations at the time in either Laredo or Nuevo Laredo. Typically, in Laredo, meetings were held at lunch time to accommodate the preferences of the banking and retail communities. Since manufacturers normally start work early, and rarely care to take extended lunch hours Leyendecker and Sherwood planned for LMA meetings to be held early, 7:30 a.m., and were planned to last for only one hour--a tradition of the LMA that continues today. Jim Parish of the Laredo Morning Times and Richard 18 L M A M e m b e r s h i p D i r e c t o r y 2 0 0 9

Deibel of the Laredo News were instrumental in getting the organization off the ground through their writing and coverage of early LMA meetings. On May 6, two days before the first meeting, Jim Parish ran a story in the Times which lead off with: "If you are an executive of a Laredo or Nuevo Laredo Manufacturing firm, your presence is desired at a Tuesday breakfast meeting at which the organizing of the Laredo Manufacturers Association will move forward." Sherwood was quoted in the same article as saying: "Laredo Manufacturers Association is being formed to promote the growth of the manufacturing community, to provide advice and guidance to educational, governmental and community leaders on matters affecting manufacturers, and to communicate information and ideas of mutual interest." The first meeting was held at the Hamilton Hotel, May 8, 1984, at 7:30 a.m. Seventeen persons attended with nine manufacturing executives present. The 17 were Larry Norton, Eliseo Olivares, Mario Herrera, Jorge de la Garza, Aldo Tatangelo, Richard Deibel, Enrique de la Garza, Eugene Fernandez, Jim Parish, Humberto Vela, Edward Norena, Frank Leach, Dave Leyendecker, Jim Fowler, Jerry Brochin, Leon Ramirez Sr., and Ed Sherwood (the order was taken from the sign-in sheet). The speakers at that first meeting

LMA Membership Directory 2009

were Cynthia Mares Jackson, and Diana McDonald, both from Laredo Junior College (now Laredo Community College). They outlined the courses LJC could provide to industry to meet their employee training needs. The breakfast served was donated by the Hamilton Hotel. It was planned that the LMA would meet approximately monthly, and hopefully the association would grow. When the next meeting, held on July 10, 1984, only attracted 16, Sherwood became concerned and raised three of his friends from their early morning sleep to attend the meeting held on September 25, 1984 (the three friends were, unfortunately, unemployed at the time due to the abrupt closing of Meridian Industries of Laredo). Attendance slowly climbed that first year, and by July 1985, six meetings of the LMA had been held with an average attendance of 20 persons. Meetings were held at the Hamilton, the Hilton, and at the Holiday Inn; numerous organizations helped with the LMA's expenses including the Tex-Mex Railroad, the Union National Bank, The Hilton Hotel, SMT Lines, International Bank of Commerce, and the Laredo National Bank. The growing LMA organization caught the eye of the Texas Association of Business in 1985, and L.W. Gray, then president of TAB, spoke to the LMA on April 30, 1985. He encouraged the 20 L M A M e m b e r s h i p D i r e c t o r y 2 0 0 9

merger of the LMA into the TAB organization. The membership of the LMA debated the pros and cons of the merger, but decided to keep its independent status. The primary reasons were to retain a focus on manufacturing, and its unique international membership policy. Ed Sherwood had been presiding at LMA meetings during its initial year, and as the LMA grew, it was decided by the July 12, 1985 meeting to elect its first official officers. Elected were Jerry Brochin from Sony as the LMA's first president, Ron Marianetti from Delredo as vice president, and Fernando Reyes, Reyes Industries , as secretarytreasurer. Under the leadership of Jerry Brochin, the LMA active membership grew from approximately 25 to 40. Brochin also helped to direct the formal organization of the LMA-dues were established, goals of the LMA were clarified, and greater input to the Laredo community, especially on educational issues, was achieved. Jerry Brochin also designed the organization's original logo. The LMA expanded its activities to include, for example, a tour for manufacturers of the Air Logistics Center at the Kelly Air Force Base in San Antonio in September, 1985. In November, 1987, Mark Pease, from R. G. Barry, was elected president for the 1988 calendar year. Also elected were Edward Leyendecker Jr., from CMI, as treasurer, and Ronald La

Duque, from Rapidprint, as secretary. The LMA under Mark Pease grew to approximately 70 members, and also initiated the sponsorship of management courses taught by the University of Texas as well as time management courses taught by Mark himself. Ed Sherwood was elected as LMA's third president in December, 1988, for the following year. During 1989, the LMA succeeded in raising its membership to over 100 by the end of the year. Several member training and recreational events were held, and the first formal LMA Bylaws were created and adopted. To celebrate its fifth anniversary, a special salute to the LMA was held at the La Posada on the night of May 24, 1989. This event was attended by approximately 300 persons and was sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce as well as by the International Bank of Commerce, La Posada, The Laredo National Bank, NBC Bank of Laredo, and the South Texas National Bank. At the LMA's fifth anniversary regular meeting, held the next morning, prominent Laredo businessman, Vicente Garza, was the featured speaker. Garza was also well known as one of the former TWA hijacking hostages held in Lebanon in 1985. Before leaving office in December, 1989, LMA President Sherwood created the LMA's scholarship fund with the $1000. left from the proceeds of his term. This was the start of a 22 L M A M e m b e r s h i p D i r e c t o r y 2 0 0 9

fund that has substantially grown over the subsequent years providing technical scholarships for many young Laredoans. Under Thomas Tomko, LMA president in 1990 and 1991, the LMA grew rapidly, exceeding 200 members by the end of 1991. Tom, from Packard Electric, also created an organized LMA committee structure, including committees to address the areas of budget, communications, customs, environment, government interface, maquiladoras, membership, special affairs, and transportation. He also spearheaded the publication of the LMA monthly newsletter, with contributions by a wide variety of community leaders. The special activities group, headed by Nick Quinn of Packard Electric, initiated the annual LMA golf tournament, which has been responsible for the major growth of the scholarship fund. Under Tomko's leadership, the first LMA Directory was published, resulting in a second source of scholarship funds. In May, 1991, a third source of fundraising was initiated when the LMA sponsored its first Little Theater benefit performance. The play was "Steel Magnolias", and the aftershow reception was held at the new offices of the Laredo Development Foundation. Elected LMA President for 1992 was Earl G. Kennett of the Modine Corporation. Under Earl's leadership, the LMA continued with the awarding of

scholarships to area students to study in technical fields at Laredo Junior College, Laredo State University, University of Texas at Austin, Texas A&M University, and Texas A&I University at Kingsville. The LMA also provided funding for an engineering "Math Counts" program, as well as continuing to help sponsor the Junior Achievement program in Laredo. Kennett also presided over the LMA's decision in 1992 to commit to donating $100,000 over a four year period to support the expansion of Laredo State University (now named Texas A&M International) to become a four year university. Elected LMA President for 1993 was Martin Siordia of the Sony Corporation. Siordia continued the numerous activities of the LMA, adding sponsorship of the "Math Day" at the annual WBCA Carnival as well as sponsorship of an environmental educational program for high school students called "Project Del Rio." Under Siordia, the work of the LMA committees continued, and a successful golf tournament and Little Theater benefit were held in 1993. Nick Quinn of Packard Electric was elected as President of the LMA for 1994. Nick's very successful management of the LMA Golf Tournaments each year had earned him the gratitude of the LMA membership. Under Nick's leadership, the LMA planned for its 10th anniversary and invited 24 L M A M e m b e r s h i p D i r e c t o r y 2 0 0 9

former U.S. Secretary of Education, Dr. Lauro Cavazos, to be the featured speaker at the May 20, 1994 celebration meeting. The activity received good local support and publicity. On April 15, 1994, the Environmental Activities Committee of the LMA held its first annual Environmental Symposium with over 85 in attendance. The Symposium was chaired by Ed Sherwood, and special guests of the LMA were representatives from the six area high school, Laredo Community College, and Texas A&M International. Elected LMA President for 1995 was Haven Jenkins of the Weigand Division of Emerson Electric. Haven continued with both the LMA committee structure, and with another successful golf tournament, co-chaired by Nick Quinn and Shawn Pallagi from Parkard Electric. The LMA also held its second annual Environmental Symposium on April 21, 1995 with even a larger representation of area high schools and colleges than previous year. In 1996, a relative newcomer to Laredo, John Malloy, was elected as President, and then reelected in 1997. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jayâ&#x20AC;? Malloy was General Manager of ITT Automotive in Laredo/Nuevo Laredo. He convinced the board to hire its first paid Administrative Assistant in 1996. With the creation of a staff person, the organization was to

expand its activities and to provide a focal point for information to its members and the community. During 1996 and 1997, LMA fund raising was accomplished through publication of its membership directory, and through its Annual Golf Tournament. As a result of these funds, the LMA presented to Texas A&M University the last $25,000. portion of a total contribution of $100,000. In 1998, John Adams was elected President, and was subsequently reelected for the following year. John was a senior officer with Banc One, but also had extensive prior manufacturing experience as well as being the author of several books on economic and historic issues. John revitalized the Maquiladora arm of the LMA through the leadership of Larry Shaw, Plant Manager of Modine as who served as chairman of the Maquiladora Committee. The LMA continued to support Junior Achievement in Laredo, and awarded $10,000. in scholarships to local students in 1998. During John’s terms, he brought several outstanding speakers to LMA meetings, and presided over the organization’s 15th Anniversary Gala, with Lt. Governor Rick Perry as the keynote speaker. Al Poppitt, from Delphi Corporation, served as LMA President in 2000. Along with the normal LMA activities, an expanded LMA Symposium was initiated. The annual Symposium 26 L M A M e m b e r s h i p D i r e c t o r y 2 0 0 9

was re-named as the “LMA Annual Symposium— Manufacturing in Mexico On the U.S. Border”. Under the cochairmanship of John Adams and Ed Sherwood, the event attracted over 100 attendees during 2000. James Jackson, General Manager of Cives, was elected as President for 2001 and 2002. Jim guided the re-organization of the LMA, negotiating a partnership with Texas A&M International to provide administrative services. David Cardwell, from TAMIU, provided the administrative leadership, as well as serving as Editor of the monthly LMA Newsletter. Also during Jim’s terms, he promoted the sponsorship of monthly LMA meetings at different locations from the normal Laredo Country Club venue. Larry Shaw, Plant Manager of Modine, was elected as President for 2003. Larry presided over successful golf tournament, membership drive, and the 10th “Annual LMA Symposium— Manufacturing in Mexico & On the U.S. Border”. Proceeds from the Symposium were donated to the United High School’s Engineering Magnet School, and to Laredo Community College. During his term, a special 20th Anniversary Edition of the LMA Membership Directory was prepared, and the LMA’s 20th Anniversary Gala was held on May 14, 2004, with “Red” Mc Combs, legendary Texas businessman, as the featured speaker.

William Green, publisher to the Laredo Morning Times, served as LMA President for 2005-2006. Under Billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership the LMA strengthened its organization and activities through strategic planning. He also moved the monthly meetings to the new Laredo Embassy Suites, with the hotel sponsoring the cost of the breakfast sessions. He also oversaw successful golf tournaments, the continuation of the Symposiums, and the LMA scholarships. Serving in 2007 and 2008, Tom Wade, from Emerson Logistics, conceived and accomplished the successful merger of the Laredo Manufacturers Association and

28 L M A M e m b e r s h i p D i r e c t o r y 2 0 0 9

the Laredo Transportation Association. This merger brought new synergies to the LMAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many activities as well as increasing membership. Tom also spearheaded the establishment of a 24-hour, 7 day a week international bridge schedule. This goal was accomplished as of 2009, giving Laredo improved logistical efficiencies. The LMA continues as a vibrant organization, funded completely by its members and sponsors, promoting the economic growth of the Laredo area.

History of the Laredo Transportation Association The Laredo Transportation Association (LTA) was established in 1988. The founding members of the LTA were, John Duggan (GM), Tony Pelligrino (TSI), Poncho Velasquez (City Trucking), Frank Vida (Brenco), Joe Azios (Brennen), Pepe Trevino (Southern Transportation), and David Topp (Penske Logistics). These charter members organized the LTA in order to present a unified business group when requesting information or changes from the local government agencies. The LTA’s charter states that the goal of the organization is to inform its members of local, state and federal issues that affect their businesses, and to work with those government agencies to assist them in making decisions that will affect their businesses. Throughout the 1990’s and into the next century, the LTA’s leadership was involved in the decision making process for several projects and plans that were considered for Laredo. These projects included the opening of the Colombia Solidarity Bridge, the creation of the Laredo Hazardous Material ordinance, the increased police presence on I-35 to assist motorist in navigating past the long lines of tractor trailers waiting to enter Mexico, the desire by the Texas

Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to create hazardous material routes in Webb County, the expansion of the Mines Road, the building of a major intersection at I-35 and the new Bob Bullock Loop, the new truck route ordinances, the NAFTA impact studies being done by federal, state, and educational institutions and the design and construction of the World Trade Bridge. In 2000, one of the larger issues the LTA was occupied with was the proposed building of a truck inspection station at the exit of the World Trade Bridge. In 1992 the City of Laredo and U.S. government opened the Colombia Solidarity Bridge located 17 miles north of I-35 and Mines Road. This was a big step in the future of Laredo assuring its place as one of the largest land ports in the United States. At the time, the Colombia Solidarity Bridge was the state of the art commercial port of entry. The LTA was present and committed to being a supporter of the bridge. This bridge would eventually become one of the busiest bridges between Mexico and the United States, even with the future building of the World Trade Bridge. In 1994, President Bill Clinton signed the North American Free Trade Agreement with Mexico LMA Membership Directory 2009

and Canada. The signing of the NAFTA would put Laredo in the international spotlight. Laredo, being strategically located in one of North Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best trade lanes, would become the largest land port of entry along the U.S. and Mexican border, crossing billons of dollars of commerce yearly. Along with this notoriety came federal, state, and educational groups, with inquiries about how the treaty was affecting the border community. The LTA leadership and members spent hundreds of hours explaining how the NAFTA was affecting the Port of Laredo and what effects there were on the local community as well as those on the national level. And, of course, with the NAFTA came the worldwide media. LTA leaders were heard worldwide describing how Laredo and the region were prospering with the implementation of the NAFTA. Local leaders were also able to discuss infrastructure problems that were being caused by the increase in trade volumes with the media which in turn brought federal attention and dollars to the area. With a new local focus being placed on transportation issues, the city embarked on development of a hazardous material ordinance. The leaders of the LTA worked as members of the ordinance development committee and as presenters to that committee. The LTA participation in the 30 L M A M e m b e r s h i p D i r e c t o r y 2 0 0 9

development of the ordinance assured the city that there would be little chance of preemption by the federal government. The result was an ordinance that works for both the city and the industry and meets the federal requirements for handling the movement and storage of hazardous interstate cargo. Along those same lines, TxDOT was exploring the possibility of creating a hazardous material route along the Camino Colombia Toll Road. The LTA worked with TxDOT in creating that designation and signage along I-35 which would lead trucks with direct destinations to utilize that route. Another issue of mid-90â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was the long line of trucks waiting to enter Mexico along I-35. These trucks and trailers would come to a complete stop on the highway while awaiting Mexican Customs to process trucks in their lot located on the Mexican side of the Lincoln Juarez Bridge. At times this line would extend from the Lincoln Juarez Bridge all the way to Shiloh road. This created a dangerous situation for passenger car drivers as the trucks would have to line up in the left (inside) lane of the highway. The LTA was able to convince the city to institute a $.50 increase in tolls per truck in order to pay for the Laredo Police to station units along the highway to warn drivers of the parked trucks and trailers. Also during this time, the city

and TxDOT worked together to widen the Mines Road from a two lane roadway to a six lane highway with bridges and flyovers to assist the movement of truck traffic. This project was supported by the LTA which provided valuable communications to those companies affected by the construction. In the late 90’s the city was ready to build the World Trade Bridge. LTA members were involved in the planning of this bridge that has become the leading commercial crossing point for freight entering and departing the U.S. Along with the World Trade Bridge came the major intersection at I-35 and Bob Bullock Loop. The LTA and its members were again instrumental in keeping members and other transportation companies up to date on the progress of the project as well as traffic diversion requirements. Early in 2002 TxDOT began exploring the possibility of building truck inspection stations near the exit booths of the World Trade and Colombia Solidarity Bridges. These inspections stations were to be built to provide a safety inspection for Mexican trucks that would enter the U.S. under the provisions of the NAFTA which had been delayed by Congress. The LTA had mixed emotions about the stations as there was the potential for delay at the bridge head if the inspection process took too much time. The LTA, working

with TxDOT and the Texas Department of Public Safety worked out a process that would not require 100% inspections of all vehicles entering the U.S. The agreed upon process would only allow for full “DOT” inspections of a small percentage of trucks entering the U.S. or those that had obvious visual violations when passing the inspection booth. Once a truck passed a full DOT inspection, that truck would not be subject to another inspection for 90 days. All trucks would be weighed using the latest “weigh in motion” technologies. As of this time, only the Colombia Solidarity Bridge has such an inspection station. The LTA sponsored several charity events over this time span. The LTA would sponsor an annual golf tournament at Casablanca Golf Course. This tournament started as an evening 9 hole event which eventually grew to a full day 18 hole event. The LTA was also the sponsor of 3 different Truck Rodeo and Truck Driving Championships. These events tested the driving skills of local truck drivers as well as promoting safe driving by truckers as well as passenger car drivers in the presence of a big truck The proceeds from these events were donated to the Sacred Heart Children’s Home. In 2007, the LTA merged with the Laredo Manufacturers Association to create the Logistics and Manufacturing Association – Port Laredo. LMA Membership Directory 2009
