A Fully Comprehensive, Single-Partner Logistics Solution

From the start, we take a consultative, project-managed approach to logistics, beginning with designing and building the right packaging for the task. Our in-house team, who follow our core values, Teamwork, Customer Commitment, Quality, and Passion, manufactures cartons, wooden cases and bespoke foam fittings to protect your equipment in transit and storage. We then manage the packing itself – either at your site or ours – using proven methods and materials tailored to each item.

We support all item types, including materials classed as dangerous goods. For large, awkward or out-of-gauge items, we engineer practical solutions such as lashing points, inspection hatches, lifting straps, castors and shock absorption features to keep loads safe, stable and accessible. Where required, we will stencil and mark up your packages to spec and can paint cases for long-term identification and protection.

Once your goods are ready, we take care of container stuffing and dispatch arrangements, then coordinate the freight across road, air and sea. With our multi-award-winning service, supported by a strong global agent network, you have one accountable partner from brief to delivery. Our ISO 14001 accreditation reflects our commitment to sustainability, while our values of Teamwork, Customer Commitment, Quality and Passion ensure you always receive exceptional service and fast response times.

Sustainability & Innovation

We’re committed to responsible logistics. Through our reverse logistics program, we buy back used timber export cases and recycle them using our briquette machine, turning waste wood into fuel pucks supporting sustainability while adding value for our customers. Additionally, we offer quality control and inspection services, allowing for checks and verification before final delivery. This ensures compliance, reduces the risk of errors, and maintains high service standards.

We’re also investing in smarter logistics. Our inventory management and demand forecasting tool will offer real-time visibility and reduce overstocking, benefiting both our clients and our internal teams. We are currently developing a custom-built software bolt-on to further streamline this process. This will be an effective management system to support collaborative planning. It will enable the customer and ourselves to make informed lead time decisions, measurably lowering carrying costs while protecting service levels.
