At AIT Worldwide Logistics, we are committed to delivering innovative and sustainable solutions to our customers. For example, our team in Phoenix is partnering with a global beverage client to address the challenge of managing damaged or returned coolers, which could otherwise contribute to wasteful inefficiency in the customer’s supply chain.
When the customer needs to swap a cooler, AIT deploys ground transportation to pick up the end-of-life or broken unit and brings it back to our warehouse in Phoenix. There, the coolers are consolidated into full truckloads and sent to designated recycling centers in Houston and Reno, Nev. for decommissioning, recycling and, if possible, repairs.
Since the program began, the AIT-Phoenix team has delivered 12 truckloads, totaling 678 coolers, to recycling facilities. This initiative supports the customer’s can-to-cooler recycling goals, including a commitment to ensuring that harmful refrigerants and other materials are disposed of properly. The reverse logistics process also highlights AIT's dedication to minimizing waste and providing cost-effective asset recovery solutions.

A major outdoor power equipment manufacturer needed to quickly move 11 tons of critical raw materials from Shanghai to Mexico. They were accustomed to moving their shipments via containerized ocean shipping, but unprecedented pandemic-era congestion at California’s Long Beach port stood in their way.
AIT’s team of retail logistics and transborder experts stepped in and not only found air freight capacity for the client’s cargo at a reasonable rate, but they also impressed the customer with personalized, proactive communication from start to finish.
