Global Containerized Transport
CONNECTING BEYOND THE BORDERS
In 1966, the first transcontinental containerized shipment was performed from the United States of America to the Netherlands. Since then, the container transport industry has been at the center of an incredible expansion in international trade, which today touches all our lives in ways we cannot imagine.
The possibility to enter in new markets, the price pressure and the commoditization of many products has forced the industry to redesign their Supply Chain network. Through global sourcing, the organizations are continuously searching for emerging technologies to increase competitive advantage, add value to the customer and reduce costs.
At RB, we are persistently working on innovation, improving our logistics solutions and using state of the art technology to address a cost efficient response to our customers demand.
We are specialized in door-to-door container-based logistics for the international bulk distribution of powdered and granulated materials.
DOOR TO DOOR, BULK TO BULK
Our full container load (FCL) and Sea Bulk Container (SBC) services involve shipping a full container as a single unit. We can cover the complete transcontinental distribution process, from the bulk loading at origin until the bulk unloading at the final destination, including everything in between.
Through a methodological process, a coordinated team examines every single project meticulously, from the analysis of the material and its behavior under static and dynamic conditions, to all relevant details to be taken into account at the (un)loading site (flow rates, structural limitations, etc.).
At RB, we are aware of the importance of managing accurately every single variable present in the global supply chain to satisfy customers goals (lead times, cargo weight, vehicle sizes, legal requirements, personnel training, time difference, language and culture, amongst others).
