The refrigerated freight transportation company's value to shippers is its capacity to be multi-dimensional. In addition to moving product by rail, it also stores inventory and arranges truck transportation-which is especially convenient for Ste. Michelle on the East Coast, where it imports product from partners in Italy. Railex can move shipments via truck out of its Rotterdam facility instead of sending them to the West Coast for re-distribution.
Prior to working with Railex, Ste. Michelle was transporting approximately two million cases per year by truck, in 10 to 15 loads daily. While it still uses over-the-road transport to make shorter-haul deliveries in the west, the rail/intermodal component now serves a large share of its business.
