The Midlands, UK-based company, who supply axles, suspensions, drawbars and wheel assemblies to manufacturers of agricultural trailers and machinery, have traditionally sourced their components from Eastern-bloc countries.
However, after the last intake of countries in to the EU, the company was forced into sourcing from elsewhere - purely for cost reasons.
Having found a new supplier in Turkey, it was upto Steve Wynne and his team at Marsil to deal with the transport, as the customer had two main concerns - speed and cost.
Wynne said, "The last order we dealt with was typical of most.
Having organized loading in Turkey on 26th May, it was shipped on 29th, arrived in Felixstowe on 9th June and delivered to the client on 13th June.
If it had gone by road, the transit time would have been almost identical but would have cost the company 50% more." * About Marsil marine - Marsil Marine, a registered member of the British International Freight Association, specialize in shipping machinery components, furniture and laboratory equipment to all parts of the globe.
