What we do in this industry
We engineer returnable and expendable packaging for OEMs across agriculture, construction, material handling, and power generation: systems that protect cosmetic surfaces in transit, ergonomically position your parts for assembly, and last for years.
Common challenges
What this industry is up against
- Painted and cosmetic surface protection. High-visibility Class-A components require flawless protection, as shipping damage triggers costly double handling and replacements.
- Ergonomic assembly line handling. Heavy components demand custom dunnage engineered for seamless operator lifting, orientation, and precise sequencing.
- Extended supply chains. Cross-border networks require durable packaging that optimizes freight, endures longer transit, and handles returns economically.
- Volume variability. Seasonal cycles mean fleet sizing has to be flexible without leaving idle capital.
- Compliance for cross-border shipping. International lanes require ISPM-15 compliant materials and documented material provenance.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work with agricultural and construction equipment OEMs?
Yes. Our engineering team has multi-decade experience designing packaging for agricultural, construction, and heavy equipment manufacturers across North America. We work with OEMs directly and with Tier 1 suppliers serving these OEMs.
How do you handle seasonal volume swings in agricultural packaging programs?
Fleet sizing for seasonal programs uses peak-volume, off-season minimum, and transition-period modeling. Some programs run fixed core fleets supplemented by expendable surge capacity. Others size to peak. The right answer depends on volume shape, lane predictability, and capital preference.
Can you support cross-border shipments to Mexico and Canada?
Yes. Our packaging programs support cross-border logistics including ISPM-15 compliant materials, documentation for customs, and multi-region returnable fleet coordination. Cross-border programs are common in this segment.
What packaging works best for large-format painted equipment components?
Large painted components typically require custom packaging with foam dunnage tuned to the specific cosmetic surface. Pack geometry, weight distribution, and dunnage material selection are engineered per part. For lower-volume or one-way lanes, custom die-cut corrugated with dunnage inserts is often the right answer.
How quickly can you onboard as a new supplier for a heavy equipment program?
Onboarding speed depends primarily on the customer’s supplier qualification process. From our side, we can move as fast as customer paperwork allows.
