Case Study: Global Supply Chain Success Through Urgent Air Freight
When a leading UK electronics distributor required rapid delivery of high-value components from Asia to multiple European destinations, they turned to Boxcon.

Solution: Boxcon designed a bespoke urgent air freight plan connecting multiple suppliers in Shenzhen, Singapore, and Seoul with assembly lines in Germany, France, and the UK. The service included:
Origin collection and customs clearance in Asia
Direct air freight routing via Boxcon’s airline partners
Consolidation at Heathrow for efficient onward distribution
Final-mile delivery to European facilities within 48 hours
Outcome: The client achieved a 30% reduction in total transit time and saved 18% on freight costs compared to previous solutions. More importantly, their production schedule remained uninterrupted, strengthening their competitive position in the market.
