As the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) strikes disrupt operations at major ports, businesses nationwide, including BAG Corp, are feeling the pinch. The strike, which has halted cargo handling, is affecting the flow of essential goods, including flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBCs), vital for various industries.
Imagine a bustling port where goods are stacked high, ready to be shipped to eager customers. Now picture that same port in a standstill, with cargo ships idling, their valuable cargo untouchable. The repercussions are palpable. For BAG Corp, a leader in FIBC manufacturing, delayed imports mean a backlog in receiving our imports from overseas, ultimately impacting our ability to meet customer demand.
With our commitment to providing top-quality FIBCs on time, the strike challenges our agility in the market. We remain dedicated to finding alternative solutions, exploring different shipping routes, and working closely with our partners to mitigate these delays.
One way BAG Corp is attempting to overcome the agility challenge is to manufacture in our plant in Juarez, Mexico to meet the emergency needs of our customers.
In these turbulent times, we remind our clients that while challenges may arise, our resolve to deliver remains steadfast. Together, we’ll navigate these waters, ensuring that when the strike ends, we’re ready to sail smoothly forward.
