Georgia-Pacific LLC, a Koch company, faced high transportation costs while modernizing its facility in Halsey, Oregon. They needed a more cost-effective way to move specialized equipment - conveyor systems, ductwork, and production lines - across multiple states without delays, damage, or unnecessary expenses. By analyzing shipping lanes, challenging standard rates, and negotiating better terms, we helped Georgia-Pacific reduce transportation costs by 57%. We also introduced Conestoga trailers in place of standard flatbeds, enhancing load security, and took a hands-on approach in managing key shipments - working directly with suppliers to eliminate friction points. The result? Transforming logistics from an obstacle into a competitive advantage. 🔗 Read the full case study here: https://lnkd.in/gM3b7mZ6
I can't think of a better joint effort than Liquidity Services' Investment Recovery solutions, which not only help recover capital that can be reinvested in the modernization project but also reduce unnecessary transportation costs.

4dThanks for sharing. I am failing to understand the point; a Koch company chose another Koch company for a service for some reason (apart from being ultimately the same company)?
