Managing a dry bulk supply chain across Europe, the UK and Ireland is complex. Unreliable hauliers, capacity shortages and contamination incidents create production delays, unhappy customers and mounting costs. When your production line depends on timely raw material delivery like; minerals, feed ingredients, food-grade powders, polymer granules or industrial chemicals, the wrong logistics partner does not just create a transport problem. It creates a business problem.
You need a logistics partner with the right equipment, the right certifications, and the track record to deliver consistently, not just on the lanes you know are easy, but across borders, through capacity crunches, and when things do not go to plan.

A Bag-in-Box (BIB) container uses a 30ft shipping container fitted with a flexible inner liner. Unlike a silo truck, BIB containers are intermodal, they move by road, rail or sea. They provide superior contamination control with single-use liners and are suitable for food-grade, feed-grade and chemical-grade products. Silo trucks are road-only and offer less contamination control.
