Partner with the Best China Freight Forwarders

When a long-time global technology customer’s engineering group in Shanghai needed to send a delicate prototype overseas to colleagues in Seattle, they turned to their trusted partners from AIT’s technology logistics team. 

The customer’s concerns? Previous experiences with other providers had resulted in late deliveries, cargo damage and even lost freight. Additionally, they were looking for a more sustainable shipping option. 

AIT’s teams in China and the United States responded to the challenge by ensuring strict chain-of-custody management for the business-critical air and ground shipment. They also implemented a more sustainable, secure packaging method for the sensitive cargo. 

Rather than shipping with traditional, single-use wooden crates, the team used environmentally friendly crates that can be reused repeatedly. Every shipment in one of these crates saves two trees from being cut down and a single tree can offset as much as a ton of CO2 in its lifetime!

Plus, the compact, collapsible design of these reusable crate is ultra-tough and includes built-in real-time tracking and condition monitoring.

When a major U.S. blood services organization needed fast, efficient support to ship time-sensitive, life-saving blood products from California to Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands — a remote location in the Pacific Ocean — they turned to their trusted partners at AIT’s Critical Solutions Group.

The team moved quickly to create a customized plan, including ground pickup and delivery. In close collaboration with our core carrier partners at Los Angeles International Airport, AIT coordinated the quick pull of the package from the cargo hold so it would make its connecting flight (with an extremely narrow 10-minute window!), avoiding otherwise certain product expiration.  

The team’s relationships and expertise ensured the critical, temperature-sensitive shipment of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched platelets reached the patient in need – on time and in pristine condition. 

And thanks to smart, patient-centric solutions like this, the customer continues to turn to AIT for blood logistics support to serve others in need.   

When the U.S. military recently needed to move multiple truckloads of equipment, some oversized, from the Pacific Northwest to the Philippines, AIT’s government logistics specialists delivered with a multimodal solution.  

The team began by routing seven full-truckload shipments from Oregon to O’Hare International Airport in Chicago where the cargo was transloaded onto a pair of chartered 747 flights to Manila.  

Despite import permit delays threatening the client with additional cost, AIT mitigated risk by leveraging strong carrier relationships to procure free temporary cargo storage.  

And when destination plans changed mid-transit to a remote field on an outer island, the team quickly arranged for a barge charter resulting in a successful, on-time mission. 

When a global leader in steel and foundry engineering needed a solution for regular imports of raw materials from China to their manufacturing site India to produce metals like aluminum and iron, they turned to AIT’s industrial logistics professionals.

Our team not only secured ocean capacity at cost-effective rates, but also handled all coordination and routing via the AIT-China network for more than 100 TEUs of minerals a month from Dalian to Chennai. 

When a global bicycle manufacturer’s air carrier was unable to support an urgent transcontinental shipment of brake components, AIT Worldwide Logistics’ solution helped the company avoid a production shutdown. 

Our European and Asian teams collaborated quickly, securing capacity for four air shipments from China to Germany, as well as on-time ground delivery to the final destination in Austria—all while keeping the customer proactively informed, every step of the way.
