We have addressed the obstacles of imported products by investing in new assets, technology, and team member training.  In today’s overburdened ports and logistics options, trucking and capital assets are more critical to successful and economical import efficiencies.  GFI owns and operates a fleet of container chassis.  These chassis are professionally operated by GFI drivers that possess Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC).  This important credential is required by federal law for all workers, including drayage and truck drivers, that need access to secure or restricted areas of maritime facilities. The TWIC is administered by the U.S. Transportation.  The ability to drive to the port and recover your containers directly is a considerable time and money saver for our valued customers.

GFI is actively shifting from just doing good to setting up processes to build environmental and social governance (ESG) into the fabric of the organization’s activities. ESG is a strategic priority at GFI, and our facilities, equipment, and packaging decisions are impacted by our ESG criteria. This, in turn, leads to new efforts to set standards and promote transparency. 

Our dedication to purvey and distribute world class products sends our global sourcing team all over the world to seek out the best of the best.  Our knowledgeable team is on-call to help provide further detail regarding costing, lead time, training, or any other services needed to optimize your customer experience.
