The Suez Canal is a crucial route in Town & Country Living’s network, but fewer sailings in that region meant tighter capacity and increased shipping rates. Additionally, with manufacturing hubs across India, Pakistan, Vietnam, China and Türkiye, Town & Country Living sought a logistics partner with the expertise and global reach to navigate these complexities and ensure the seamless movement of their products.
