About the Company

Commodity Supplies

Global container shipping volume pooling

Commodity Supplies AG coordinates global maritime logistics for containerized cargo by pooling shipping volumes from multiple clients. This pooling helps obtain lower freight costs and provides ongoing logistics support to clients, leveraging offices and teams across major origins and destinations (Brazil, China, Costa Rica, Germany, Singapore, United States, Vietnam). The service works by aggregating client shipments to negotiate better rates and manage purchasing and handling of shipping services worldwide, covering procurement, scheduling, and logistical coordination. What sets Commodity Supplies AG apart is its ability to leverage a broad global footprint to secure savings and facilitate day-to-day operations for customers, rather than relying on a single origin, carrier, or route. The company aims to lower transport costs for its clients while delivering reliable, global logistics support and optimization across the supply chain.
