Logistics and packaging

The vast number of thermoplastic hoses, the large active customer base spread over five continents, as well as an enormous quantity of raw materials and accessories, handled, checked, stored, transformed and shipped every day, make logistics a strategic activity for Transfer Oil.

In-house logistics involves the ability to receive, check and store a considerable amount of raw materials - different kinds of polymers, fibers and steel wires that will be transformed into top quality finished or semi-finished products. Performing all these activities, while at the same time maintaining traceability of the storage, quantity and characteristics of each component, requires great organization, accurate methodology and precise procedures. At any moment in time, Transfer Oil is capable of determining the availability of a product or the progress of a component in the production process.

With a click, customers can check stock availability for hoses, fittings and ferrules at any time. Transfer Oil applies the same attention to outside logistics, as this allows optimization of transport activities, an aspect that is appreciated by our customers.

Transfer Oil hoses can be customized and packaged according to customers’ requirements, in coils of different sizes and lengths, or dispatched on wooden reels for longer lengths. Fittings, ferrules, accessories and hose assemblies are packaged in boxes and tagged with unmistakable identification number.

With reel packaging, Transfer Oil can ship long pieces safely, optimizing the volume being shipped vs. the delivered quantity. When reels are not required, Transfer Oil provides corrugated cardboard packaging which, with its sturdiness, versatility, light weight and total recyclability, provides adequate protection to bulk product.

Continuous research and improvements of our packaging formats have led us to the introduction of octagonal cardboard boxes aimed to optimize shipment of hose assemblies.
