Machinery & machine tools

This segment produces what’s needed to produce basically all machines.  As a result, it is heavily dependent on the fortunes of other industry segments, most notably the oil and gas sector and manufacturers of vehicles and heavy machinery. Although it’s a segment that serves a broad variety of markets, its companies share some common challenges. Exports to new or remote areas often require a new distribution plans. Setting up and successfully foreign sales is challenging enough without being hamstrung by distribution challenges.  The good news is we can help.

We carry huge ocean transport volumes of machinery and machine tools. Consignments can vary from individual machine tools to full production lines or even whole factories, with sizes and weights that may differ with each shipment. Often fitted with sophisticated electronics, these loads require careful handling. They typically require special equipment to enable loading and transfers without disturbing the product and full protection from the elements during transport. Every transport move needs to be well planned and competently executed to prevent damages.
