Carton Manufacturing Facility - Multimodal Supply Chain (2022-Present)

Client Profile: Packaging manufacturer producing corrugated carton boxes for food, electronics, and retail industries

Challenge: Import raw materials (paper rolls, chemicals, production supplies) from Turkey cost-effectively, distribute finished carton boxes to B2B clients across Iraq, use single provider for both import and distribution, and reduce inventory holding costs through better import scheduling.

Our Solution: Established weekly LTL consolidation from Turkey via Ibrahim Khalil border with pre-cleared customs documentation and direct-to-factory delivery within 3-4 days. Managed finished carton delivery to business customers with coordinated delivery schedules.

Results:

•  30% import cost reduction through LTL consolidation vs. previous FTL-only approach
•  Consistent 3-4 day import transit enables just-in-time inventory management
•  40% of their distribution now handled by Direct Drive
•  Single invoice, single point of contact for both import and distribution

"Having one logistics partner who understands both our import needs and our customers' delivery requirements simplified our entire operation. We went from managing 4-5 trucking companies to one call with Direct Drive."
