FirmNL helped Bay Plastics meet rising EU demand and reduce delivery times
Our European sales increased and we noticed we could not meet demand in our prior situation, so our logistics partner recommended we contact Brian from FirmNL. We made an in-person visit to the 3PL and Brian’s HQ. He and Diego consulted, and then set up a Dutch entity and got fully licensed and compliant with EU regulations. Since then, we’ve been compliant and meeting our EU supply and demand. The collaboration cut delivery times dramatically.
