Another phenomenal growth area for ISC has been in our export department.  Originally awarded the task in 1997, this project has grown from one customer and one location to many export customers in Europe, South America and beyond.  Shipping rates can exceed 30 containers per week and over 600 40ft containers per year.  For this project, ISC brings in materials we buy, materials we make, materials the customer purchases from third party suppliers directly, and intercompany materials fabricated at U.S. locations. These items are then reported, preserved, packed for sea or air as required, containerized and then shipped abroad.   ISC routinely develops new skids and packaging configurations to more effectively use the available container space, which directly equates to a cost savings.  As a direct result of ISC’s improved accuracy and delivery over a previous competitor, our customer was able to reduce on hand inventory in their plant by 4 weeks.  It is this type of effort and dedication that has allowed ISC to expand this project to multiple overseas locations.  For these same reasons, ISC has also been approached to be a strategic buyer , importer and consolidator of foreign goods used in our customers domestic production.  We look forward to the new challenge
