Goodpack is engaged principally in the business of leasing its patented, multi-modal, returnable metal box systems known as Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs). Goodpack's IBCs are designed for the packing, storage and transportation of a range of solid and liquid bulk cargo worldwide.

Listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange, Goodpack was initially focused on providing IBCs to players operating in the natural rubber market. The Company has since diversified into other markets including synthetic rubber, automotive parts, juices & juice concentrates, tomatoes, dairy, fats & oils and other soft commodities.

Goodpack offers its customers a cost effective, hassle-free, environmentally friendly alternative to competing packing solutions such as wooden boxes, steel drums and single-use IBCs.

Goodpack returnable Steel Box constructed to withstand the typical rough handling as found in a multi-modal global supply chain. A fully collapsible IBC with one removable side, it is designed for easy assembly and knock down by one man. Its unique feature to stack when fall and nest when empty enable the user to substantially reduce their handling, storage and transport cost. The IBC eliminates the constant need of having to discard used metal drums and assist companies to achieve the ISO 14000 requirements to reduce world waste. It is naturally environmentally friendly as it eliminates the risk of contamination through fiber and wood packaging commonly found in one- way packaging. The MB5 meets ASTM test requirements and ISPM 15 regulations governing wood contamination.

The revolutionary IBC for the global transportation of the vast range of liquids and solids. Ideal for the automotive parts industry, Goodpack offers a flexible and cost-effective IBC metal box leasing program. Our leasing program allows you to hire locally and de-hire globally; a solution that means no capital costs for you, and none of the headaches to manage return of the packaging.

Known and respected as one of Europe's leading specialist express delivery companies, Priority Freight helps clients meet complex and urgent international transport challenges. With offices in the UK, Europe and Moscow, Priority Freight's experienced multilingual staff are available 24/7, 365 days a year, to meet your time-definite transport needs, often beating seemingly impossible deadlines.

Since 1996, the automotive sector has been core to our continued success. Our services are tailor-made to support the complex logistical demands of automotive production and aftermarket support.

Our Moscow office is staffed with native Russian and European staff and it offers the local expertise car companies require to expedite shipments. Providing industry leading transit times for scheduled lines by road, air and sea, Priority Freight offers a refreshing alternative to companies doing business in Russia. Not only has our approach enabled us to reduce costs for transportation, but we also reduce clients' capital invested in assets whilst in transit due to faster transportation and customs clearance.

The potential for supply chain interruption is always a threat to lean manufacturing, and whether an interruption is caused by industrial action, quality failure, financial stability, sudden demand surge, bad weather or a combination of these issues, it is imperative to have in place a company that can act fast, be pro-active and supportive. That's where Priority Freight helps. Typically we collect goods anywhere in Europe within 60 minutes, kick-starting an urgent delivery to prevent a supply chain slip-up from becoming a production disaster. That's why Priority Freight are relied upon by the world's leading OEMs, and their suppliers for their priority time-definite transports by road and air.

As well as inbound emergencies, car companies choose us to protect their brand image by providing after-market express transport of vital parts to distributors and direct to dealerships. Although there may not be the same downtime costs of lost production, OEMs realise that customer satisfaction in their brand is of huge value, and Priority Freight helps keep OEMs' promises to their customers, by getting the parts to them on time.

Priority Freight provides door to door transportation globally, utilising multimodal services to provide the highest service level and optimum solution every time. Services provided include:

* Air Charter
* Direct Express Road Transportation
* Express Airfreight
* Intermodal Solutions/Mutlimodal Solutions
* Customs Clearance for Russia and Europe
