Tri-White also owns about 70% of Canada-based golf resort operator ClubLink. CEO Rai Sahi controls some 70% of ClubLink Enterprises, which was formed to hold tourist and trucking operations of Russel Metals; the trucking interests were sold in 2000.

The global economy and the U.S. economy are inter-dependent. U.S. manufacturers have largely become U.S. importers.

Global Link Logistics is well positioned to offer service bridging the span between the foreign manufacturer and the U.S. importer. Global Link Logistics (GLL) is licensed by the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) as an Ocean Transportation Intermediary (OTI) functioning as both a Non Vessel Operating Common Carrier (NVOCC) and Freight Forwarder.
