Pipeline Packaging

Jim Zuidema, a Pipeline Packaging account manager, has spent more than three decades in the packaging industry. Throughout his career, he’s seen firsthand the different ways warehousing services can help customers, especially those with complex global supply-chain needs. “Supplying packaging on a global level leaves no room for missteps,” said Zuidema. “One lead-time issue can easily spiral into late shipments and delayed production that puts our customers behind schedule. This makes just- in-time (JIT) delivery a top priority when it comes to creating an inventory management system for these situations.” https://lnkd.in/gcitdw_W

Pipeline Packaging account manager @Dan McCaffrey understands the benefit of warehousing and other value-added services. He explained how our inventory management strategy has helped one automotive aftermarket customer succeed. “To complete its plastic bottle system, the customer would order 1 million caps,” said McCaffrey. “But rather than store them all in one place, half of the order goes directly to the customer and the other half is stored in a Pipeline warehouse. After three months, we send the remaining 500,000 caps to the customer and start the cycle again with another order of 1 million bottle caps.” https://lnkd.in/gcitdw_W

Backed by an extensive career in logistics, John Bruce has served as director of operations at Pipeline Packaging for almost five years. He shared how our warehousing services help maximize efficiency and minimize costs for customers. “With Pipeline’s warehousing services, our value proposition is being able to stock inventory when customers need it,” Bruce said. “Trying to manage lead times and juggle multiple suppliers can place a huge strain on the production line. That’s why we try to advocate for these value-added services to ease the burden for our customers.” https://lnkd.in/gcitdw_W
